Thema:

Why partial coalgebras?

 

 

 

 

 

Zusammenfassung:

 

If algebras and coalgebras are used to specify data types and process types, one should have in mind that realizations of data types and process types should be computable, i.e., expressible by means of recursively enumerable sets and partial recursive functions. Taking computable processes into consideration leads to partial coalgebras. Whereas partial algebras can be obtained from total algebras by generalizations of the type functors, this is not possible in case of coalgebras. In the talk we will present basic notions for partial coalgebras and will present some intuitive examples. It turns out for instance that partial observations can be used to represents fairness properties.
