Mixed Nondeterministic-Probabilistic Interfaces


Abstract in English

Interface theories are powerful frameworks supporting incremental and compositional design of systems through refinements and constructs for conjunction, and parallel composition. In this report we present a first Interface Theor -- |Modal Mixed Interfaces -- for systems exhibiting both non-determinism and randomness in their behaviour. The associated component model -- Mixed Markov Decision Processes -- is also novel and subsumes both ordinary Markov Decision Processes and Probabilistic Automata.
