Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 8464))

Abstract

A mathematical theory of probabilistic and quantum event structures is developed. It has some claim to providing fundamental models of distributed probabilistic and quantum systems, and has formed the basis for distributed probabilistic and quantum games.
