Introduction to probabilistic concurrent systems
arXiv:2111.00507 · doi:10.3233/FI-222133
Abstract
The first part of the paper is an introduction to the theory of probabilistic concurrent systems under a partial order semantics. Key definitions and results are given and illustrated on examples. The second part includes contributions. We introduce deterministic concurrent systems as a subclass of concurrent systems. Deterministic concurrent system are "locally commutative'" concurrent systems. We prove that irreducible and deterministic concurrent systems have a unique probabilistic dynamics, and we characterize these systems by means of their combinatorial properties.
