bisimulation We investigate the (in)equational theory of impossible futures semantics over the process algebra BCCSP. We prove that no finite, sound axiomatization for BCCSP modulo impossible futures equivalence is ground-complete. By contrast, we present a finite, sound, ground-complete axiomatization for BCCSP modulo impossible futures preorder. If the alphabet of actions is infinite, then this axiomatization is shown to be ω-complete. If the alphabet is finite, we prove that the inequational theory of BCCSP modulo impossible futures preorder lacks such a finite basis. We also derive non-finite axiomatizability results for nested impossible futures semantics. completed simulation simulation 2-nested simulation ready simulation possible worlds ready traces failure traces readies failures completed traces possible futures impossible futures traces 1

Ready simulation has proven to be one of the most significant semantics in process theory. It is at the heart of a number of general results that pave the way to a comprehensive understanding of the spectrum of process semantics. Since its original definition by Bloom, Istrail and Meyer in 1995, several authors have proposed generalizations of ready simulation to deal with internal actions. However, a thorough study of the (non-)existence of finite (in)equational bases for weak ready simulation semantics is still missing in the literature. This paper presents a complete account of positive and negative results on the axiomatizability of weak ready simulation semantics over the language BCCSP. In addition, this study offers a thorough analysis of the axiomatizability properties of weak simulation semantics.

Abstract. This paper presents a complete account of positive and negative results on the finite axiomatizability of weak complete simulation semantics over the language BCCSP. We offer finite (un)conditional groundcomplete axiomatizations for the weak complete simulation precongruence. In sharp contrast to this positive result, we prove that, in the presence of at least one observable action, the (in)equational theory of the weak complete simulation precongruence over BCCSP does not have a finite (in)equational basis. In fact, the collection of (in)equations in at most one variable that hold in weak complete simulation semantics over BCCSP does not have an (in)equational basis of ‘bounded depth’, let alone a finite one. 1

Abstract. A general method is established to derive a ground-complete axiomatization for a weak semantics from such an axiomatization for its concrete counterpart, in the context of the process algebra BCCS. This transformation moreover preserves ω-completeness. It is applicable to semantics at least as coarse as impossible futures semantics. As an application, ground-and ω-complete axiomatizations are derived for weak failures, completed trace and trace semantics. We then present a finite, sound, ground-complete axiomatization for the concrete impossible futures preorder, which implies a finite, sound, ground-complete axiomatization for the weak impossible futures preorder. In contrast, we prove that no finite, sound axiomatization for BCCS modulo concrete and weak impossible futures equivalence is ground-complete. If the alphabet of actions is infinite, then the aforementioned groundcomplete axiomatizations are shown to be ω-complete. If the alphabet is finite, we prove that the inequational theories of BCCS modulo the concrete and weak impossible futures preorder lack such a finite basis.

This paper is devoted to the study of the (in)equational theory of the largest (pre)congruences over the language BCCSP induced from internal steps in process behaviours. In particular, the article focuses on the (pre)congruences associated with the weak simulation, the weak complete simulation and the weak ready simulation preorders. For each of these behavioural semantics, results on the (non)existence of finite (ground-)complete (in)equational axiomatizations are given. The axiomatization of those semantics using conditional equations is also discussed in some detail.
A Cancellation Theorem for BCCSP

This paper presents a cancellation theorem for the preorders in van Glabbeek’s linear time-branching time spectrum over BCCSP. Apart from having some intrinsic interest, the proven cancellation result plays a crucial role in the study of the cover equations, in the sense of Fokkink and Nain, that characterize the studied semantics. The techniques used in the proof of the cancellation theorem may also have some independent interest.
