Abstract

The paper shows an algorithmwhich, given a Basic ParallelProcesses (BPP) system, constructs a set of linear mappingswhich characterize the (strong) bisimulation equivalence onthe system. Though the number of the constructed mappingscan be exponential, they can be generated in polynomialspace; this shows that the problem of deciding bisimulationequivalence on BPP is in PSPACE. Combining with thePSPACE-hardness result by Srba, PSPACE-completeness isthus established.
