Abstract

Bundle event structures equipped with a partial order ≤ have been used to give a true concurrency denotational semantics for LOTOS. This model has also been extended by time and stochastic information. Unfortunately it fails to yield a complete partial order (cpo) as we illustrate by an example.We propose a subset of all bundle event structures such that it forms a cpo. This subset is closed under the usual operators on bundle event structures. And as a consequence these operators are continuous. Therefore, this subset can be used to give a denotational semantics of LOTOS.
