Abstract

This paper introduces a novel (bi)simulation-based faster-than preorder which relates asynchronous processes with respect to their worst-case timing behavior. The studies are conducted for a conservative extension of the process algebra CCS, called TACS, which permits the specification of maximal time bounds of actions. The most unusual contribution is in showing that the proposed faster-than preorder coincides with two other preorders, one of which considers the absolute times at which actions occur in system runs. The paper also develops the semantic theory of TACS, addressing congruence properties, equational laws, and abstractions from internal actions.KeywordsSemantic TheoryInternal ActionParallel CompositionProcess AlgebraInternal ComputationThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
