Abstract

The intention of the paper is to develop a framework for observational equivalences in the setting of a real-time partial order model. In particular, we introduce a family of equivalences of linear time – branching time spectrum based on interleaving, causal trees and partial order semantics, in the setting of event structures with dense time domain. We study the relationships between these approaches and show their discriminating power. Furthermore, when dealing with particular subclasses of the model under consideration there is no difference between a more concrete or a more abstract approach.
