Abstract

We present an adequacy theorem for a concurrent extension of probabilistic GCL. The underlying denotational semantics is based on the so-called mixed powerdomains which combine non-determinism with stochasticity. The theorem itself is formulated via M. Smyth's idea of treating observable properties as open sets of a topological space. One application of our theorem is that it entails semi-decidability w.r.t. whether a concurrent program satisfies an observable property (written in a certain form). This is intimately connected to M. Escard\'o's conjecture about semi-decidability w.r.t. may and must probabilistic testing.
