On the computational complexity of bisimulation, redux

摘要

Paris Kanellakis and the second author (Smolka) were among the first to investigate the computational complexity of bisimulation, and the first and third authors (Moller and Srba) have long-established track records in the field. Smolka and Moller have also written a brief survey about the computational complexity of bisimulation [ACM Comput. Surv. 27(2) (1995) 287]. The authors believe that the special issue of Information and Computation devoted to PCK50: Principles of Computing and Knowledge: Paris C. Kanellakis Memorial Workshop represents an ideal opportunity for an up-to-date look at the subject. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
