Abstract

In the context of models with mixed nondeterministic and probabilistic choice, we present a concurrent model based on partial orders, more precisely Winskel’s event structures. We study its relationship with the interleaving-based model of Segala’s probabilistic automata. Lastly, we use this model to give a truly concurrent semantics to an extension of CCS with probabilistic choice, and relate this concurrent semantics to the usual interleaving semantics, thus generalising existing results on CCS, event structures and labelled transition systems.
