Abstract

We present a technique to associate to stochastic programs written in stochastic Concurrent Constraint Programming a semantics in terms of a lattice of hybrid automata. The aim of this construction is to provide a framework to approximate the stochastic behavior by a mixed discrete/continuous dynamics with a variable degree of discreteness.
