Abstract

We define a model of labelled product systems of automata and explore its connections with process calculi and trace languages. Bisimilarity of labelled product systems is defined using a new definition of bisimulation with renaming. Concurrent ì-expressions are defined to describe labelled product systems. This leads to complete axiomatizations and algorithms for bisimulation and failure equivalence over labelled product systems, and for equality over recognizable trace languages.
