Abstract

Rewriting Logic has shown to provide a general and elegant framework for unifying a wide variety of models, including concurrency models and deduction systems. In order to extend the modeling capabilities of rule based languages, it is natural to consider that the firing of rules can be subject to some probabilistic laws. Considering rewrite rules subject to probabilities leads to numerous questions about the underlying notions and results. In this paper, we discuss whether there exists a notion of probabilistic rewrite system with an associated notion of probabilistic rewriting logic.
