Abstract
Acceptance Automata, a particular case of labelled transition systems whose semantics is given in terms of the Failures Model, are presented. It is shown how parallel composition and hiding can be defined for them in a way consistent with the TCSP model. A notion of canonical automaton is presented. In the finite case it can be effectively computed and used for proving implementations correct. Finally, the TCSP concept of refinement is characterized in the acceptance automata domain.
