Probabilistic transition system specifications (PTSSs) in the $nt mu ftheta / ntmu xtheta$ format provide structural operational semantics for Segala-type systems that exhibit both probabilistic and nondeterministic behavior and guarantee that bisimilarity is a congruence for all operator defined in such format. Starting from the $nt mu ftheta / ntmu xtheta$ format, we obtain restricted formats that guarantee that three coarser bisimulation equivalences are congruences. We focus on (i) Segalas variant of bisimulation that considers combined transitions, which we call here convex bisimulation; (ii) the bisimulation equivalence resulting from considering Park & Milners bisimulation on the usual stripped probabilistic transition system (translated into a labelled transition system), which we call here probability obliterated bisimulation; and (iii) a probability abstracted bisimulation, which, like bisimulation, preserves the structure of the distributions but instead, it ignores the probability values. In addition, we compare these bisimulation equivalences and provide a logic characterization for each of them.

Meta SOS is a software framework designed to integrate the results from the meta-theory of structural operational semantics (SOS). These results include deriving semantic properties of language constructs just by syntactically analyzing their rule-ba
sed definition, as well as automatically deriving sound and ground-complete axiomatizations for languages, when considering a notion of behavioural equivalence. This paper describes the Meta SOS framework by blending aspects from the meta-theory of SOS, details on their implementation in Maude, and running examples.
This paper investigates the usage of generating functions (GFs) encoding measures over the program variables for reasoning about discrete probabilistic programs. To that end, we define a denotational GF-transformer semantics for probabilistic while-p
rograms, and show that it instantiates Kozens seminal distribution transformer semantics. We then study the effective usage of GFs for program analysis. We show that finitely expressible GFs enable checking super-invariants by means of computer algebra tools, and that they can be used to determine termination probabilities. The paper concludes by characterizing a class of -- possibly infinite-state -- programs whose semantics is a rational GF encoding a discrete phase-type distribution.
We introduce a notion of real-valued reward testing for probabilistic processes by extending the traditional nonnegative-reward testing with negative rewards. In this richer testing framework, the may and must preorders turn out to be inverses. We sh
ow that for convergent processes with finitely many states and transitions, but not in the presence of divergence, the real-reward must-testing preorder coincides with the nonnegative-reward must-testing preorder. To prove this coincidence we characterise the usual resolution-based testing in terms of the weak transitions of processes, without having to involve policies, adversaries, schedulers, resolutions, or similar structures that are external to the process under investigation. This requires establishing the continuity of our function for calculating testing outcomes.
We give an adequate denotational semantics for languages with recursive higher-order types, continuous probability distributions, and soft constraints. These are expressive languages for building Bayesian models of the kinds used in computational sta
tistics and machine learning. Among them are untyped languages, similar to Church and WebPPL, because our semantics allows recursive mixed-variance datatypes. Our semantics justifies important program equivalences including commutativity. Our new semantic model is based on `quasi-Borel predomains. These are a mixture of chain-complete partial orders (cpos) and quasi-Borel spaces. Quasi-Borel spaces are a recent model of probability theory that focuses on sets of admissible random elements. Probability is traditionally treated in cpo models using probabilistic powerdomains, but these are not known to be commutative on any class of cpos with higher order functions. By contrast, quasi-Borel predomains do support both a commutative probabilistic powerdomain and higher-order functions. As we show, quasi-Borel predomains form both a model of Fiores axiomatic domain theory and a model of Kocks synthetic measure theory.
We first present a probabilistic version of ACP that rests on the principle that probabilistic choices are always resolved before choices involved in alternative composition and parallel composition are resolved and then extend this probabilistic ver
sion of ACP with a form of interleaving in which parallel processes are interleaved according to what is known as a process-scheduling policy in the field of operating systems. We use the term strategic interleaving for this more constrained form of interleaving. The extension covers probabilistic process-scheduling policies.
