Transition systems, metric spaces and ready sets in the semantics of uniform concurrency

Transition systems as proposed by Hennessy and Plotkin are defined for a series of three languages featuring concurrency. The first has shuffle and local nondeterminacy, the second synchronization merge and local nondeterminacy, and the third synchronization merge and global nondeterminacy. The languages are all uniform in the sense that the elementary actions are uninterpreted. Throughout, infinite behaviour is taken into account and modelled …
