Full abstraction for nondeterministic dataflow networks

Abstract

The problem of finding fully abstract semantic models for nondeterministic dataflow networks is discussed. The author presents a result indicating that there exist nondeterministic networks using only bounded choice for which the input-output relation is not compositional. It is shown that the trace semantics is fully abstract for all nondeterministic as well as deterministic networks.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
