TY - JOUR IS - 1 PB - ACM JF - ACM Computing Surveys N2 - We introduce a unifying framework to provide the semantics of process algebras, including their quantitative variants useful for modeling quantitative aspects of behaviors. The unifying framework is then used to describe some of the most representative stochastic process algebras. This provides a general and clear support for an understanding of their similarities and differences. The framework is based on State to Function Labeled Transition Systems, FuTSs for short, that are state transition structures where each transition is a triple of the form (s,?, EP - 35 ID - eprints2707 SN - 0360-0300 KW - Combinatorics; Probability and statistics; Models of computation VL - 46 Y1 - 2013/10// UR - http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2522973 A1 - De Nicola, Rocco A1 - Latella, Diego A1 - Loreti, Michele A1 - Massink, Mieke SP - 1 TI - A uniform definition of stochastic process calculi AV - none ER -
