Titre / Title: Approximating Traces
Abstract : Abstract : In order to give a semantics to concurrent processes, one needs a powerful model which enjoys many important mathematical properties. We general Mazurkiewicz (infinite) traces by adding an information concerning the possible continuations of a process. This allows to define an approximation order and a composition. We obtain a prime algebraic cohenrently complete domain where the compacts are exactly the finite approximations of actual processes. The composition is shown to be monotone and U-continuous. We define a suitable metric which induces the Lawson topology and yields a complete and compact metric space. The finite approximations of processes form a dense subset and the composition is uniformly continuous.
