Abstract:

Abstract. In this paper we describe how to build semantic models that support both nondeterministic choice and probabilistic choice. Several models exist that support both of these constructs, but none that we know of satises all the laws one would like. Using domain-theoretic techniques, we show how models can be devised using the \standard model" for probabilistic choice, and then applying modied domain-theoretic models for nondeterministic choice. These models are distinguished by the fact that the expected laws for nondeterministic choice and probabilistic choice remain valid. We also describe some potential applications of our model to aspects of security. 1
