Abstract:

A trace semantics is given for a probabilistic reactive lan-
guage which is capable of modelling probabilistic action
systems. It is shown that reactive probabilistic programs with
the trace semantics form a general refinement algebra. The
abstract-algebraic characterisation means that the proofs of
earlier-established transformation rules can be reused for
probabilistic action systems with trace semantics.
