Abstract

Causality-based partial order semantics allows an easy formulation of weak fairness. It is demonstrated that this is true also for other partial order semantics, namely for partial words and interval semiwords.

This work was partially supported by the DFG (Project ‘Halbordnungstesten’ and the ESPRIT Basic Research Working Group 6067 CALIBAN (CAusal calcuLI BAsed on Nets). A journal version of this paper will appear in Information Processing Letter.
