Predicate and relation liftings for coalgebras with side effects: an application in coalgebraic modal logic

We study coalgebraic modal logic to characterise behavioural equivalence in the presence of side effects, i.e., when coalgebras live in a (co)Kleisli or an Eilenberg-Moore category. Our aim is to develop a general framework based on indexed categories/fibrations that is common to the aforementioned categories. In particular, we show how the coalgebraic notion of behavioural equivalence arises from a relation lifting (a special kind of indexed morphism) and we give a general recipe to construct such liftings in the above three cases. Lastly, we apply this framework to derive logical characterisations for (weighted) language equivalence and conditional bisimilarity.

Hierarchical states in the Compositional Interchange Format

CIF is a language designed for two purposes, namely as a specification language for hybrid systems and as an interchange format for allowing model transformations between other languages for hybrid systems. To facilitate the top-down development of a hybrid system and also to be able to express models more succinctly in the CIF formalism, we need a mechanism for stepwise refinement. In this paper, we add the notion of hierarchy to a subset of the CIF language, which we call hCIF. The semantic domain of the CIF formalism is a hybrid transition system, constructed using structural operational semantics. The goal of this paper is to present a semantics for hierarchy in such a way that only the SOS rules for atomic entities in hCIF are redesigned in comparison to CIF. Furthermore, to be able to reuse existing tools like simulators of the CIF language, a procedure to eliminate hierarchy from an automaton is given.
