Abstract

The complexity of the software-intensive systems requires working with notions as explicit locations in a distributed system, interaction among the mobile processes restricted by interaction timeouts, time scheduling, and restricted resource access. In order to work these notions, we use a timed and distributed variant of the π-calculus having explicit locations, types for restricting the resource access, and time constraints for interaction in distributed systems. Using observation predicates, several behavioural notions are defined and related: (global) barbed bisimulations, (global) typed barbed bisimulation, timed (global) barbed bisimulations, timed (global) typed barbed bisimulation and full timed global typed barbed bisimulation. These bisimulations form a lattice according to their distinguishing power.
