Abstract
Abstract We extend the stratified model of probabilistic processes to obtain a very general notion of process priority. The main idea is to allow probability guards of value 0 to be associated with alternatives of a probabilistic summation expression. Such alternatives can be chosen only if the non-zero alternatives are precluded by contextual constraints. We refer to this model as one of “extremal probability” and to its signature as PCCS ζ . We provide PCCS ζ with a structural operational semantics and a notion of probabilistic bisimulation , which is shown to be a congruence. Of particular interest is the abstraction PCCS π of PCCS ζ in which all non-zero probability guards are identified. PCCS π represents a customized framework for reasoning about priority, and covers all features of process algebras proposed for reasoning about priority that we know of.
