Abstract

We describe our ongoing work on generalizing some quantitatively constrained notions of weak simulation up-to that are recently introduced for deterministic systems modeling program execution. We present and discuss a new notion dubbed preorder-constrained simulation that allows comparison between words using a preorder, instead of equality.
