Event-Based Operational Semantics and a Consistency Result for Real-Time Concurrent Processes with Action Refinement

In this paper an event-based operational interleaving semantics is proposed for real-time processes, for which action refinement and a denotational true concurrency semantics are developed and defined in terms of timed event structures. The authors characterize the timed event traces that are generated by the operational semantics in a denotational way, and show that this operational semantics is consistent with the denotational semantics in the sense that they generate the same set of timed event traces, thereby eliminating the gap between the true concurrency and interleaving semantics.
