RT Book, Section T1 New Bisimulation Semantics for Distributed Systems A1 Frutos Escrig, David De A1 Rosa Velardo, Fernando A1 Gregorio Rodríguez, Carlos A2 Derrick, John A2 Vain, Jüri AB Bisimulation semantics are a very pleasant way to define the semantics of systems, mainly because the simplicity of their definitions and their nice coalgebraic properties. However, they also have some disadvantages: they are based on a sequential operational semantics defined by means of an ordinary transition system, and in order to be bisimilar two systems have to be “too similar”. In this work we will present several natural proposals to define weaker bisimulation semantics that we think properly capture the desired behaviour of distributed systems. The main virtue of all these semantics is that they are real bisimulation semantics, thus inheriting most of the good properties of bisimulation semantics. This is so because they can be defined as particular instances of Jacobs and Hughes’ categorical definition of simulation, which they have already proved to satisfy all those properties.
