Abstract

We investigate weighted asynchronous cellular automata with weights in valuation monoids. These automata form a distributed extension of weighted finite automata and allow us to model concurrency. Valuation monoids are abstract weight structures that include semirings and (non-distributive) bounded lattices but also offer the possibility to model average behaviors. We prove that weighted asynchronous cellular automata and weighted finite automata which satisfy an I-diamond property are equally expressive. The main result of this paper gives a characterization of this expressiveness by weighted MSO logics.
