Compositional Design Methodology with Constraint Markov Chains
Résumé
A specification theory combines notions of specification and implementation with a satisfaction relation, a refinement relation and a set of operators that together support stepwise design. We propose a new abstraction, Constraint Markov Chains, and use it to construct a specification theory for Markov Chains. Constraint Markov Chains generalize previously known abstractions by allowing arbitrary constraints on probability distributions. Our theory is the first specification theory for Markov Chains closed under conjunction, parallel composition and synchronization. Moreover, all the operators and relations introduced are computable.
