In particular, we provide some full abstraction theorems that offer alternative characterizations of these preorders in terms of context closure w.r.t. basic observables and in terms of traces and acceptance sets. These characterizations throw light on the asymmetry between input and output actions in asynchronous interactions and on the difference between synchrony and asynchrony. date: 1998 date_type: published series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science volume: 1378 publisher: Springer pagerange: 95-109 id_number: 10.1007/BFb0053544 refereed: TRUE isbn: 3-540-64300-1 book_title: Foundations of Software Science and Computation Structures (FoSSaCS 1998) editors_name: Nivat, Maurice official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BFb0053544 funders: Work partially supported by EEC: HCM project EXPRESS, and by CNR: project “Specifica ad alto livello e verifica formale di sistemi digitali”. citation: Boreale, Michele and De Nicola, Rocco and Pugliese, Rosario Asynchronous Observations of Processes.
