Abstract

We apply Berry & Lévy's notion of equivalence by permutations to CCS and Meije/SCCS, thus obtaining a pomset transition semantics for these calculi. We show that this provides an operational counterpart for an event structure semantics for CCS and SCCS similar to the one given by Winskel.
