Implicit definability of algebraic structurs by means of program properties
Jan A. Bergstra,Jerzy Tiuryn +1 more
Abstract: The following problem is investigated in the
paper: what structures can be uniquely defined, by algorithmic
properties? The algorithmic propertifa are represented in this
paper as open formulae of the logic of effective definitions. This
approach can be viewed as an alternative way of defining abstract
data types.
Top-down design and the algebra of communicating processes
Jan A. Bergstra,John V. Tucker +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an algebraic theory for top-down design of communicating systems is presented, in which levels of abstraction are represented by algebras, and their stepwise refinements are represented as homomorphisms.
Promise Theory: Principles and Applications (Volume 1)
Mark Burgess,Jan A. Bergstra +1 more
TL;DR: Promise Theory bridges the worlds of semantics and dynamics to describe interactions between autonomous agencies within a system, providing a semi-formal language for modelling intent and its outcome.

Process Algebra with Propositional Signals
Jos C. M. Baeten,Jan A. Bergstra +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that a process in a parallel composition may proceed conditionally, dependent on the presence of a signal in the process in parallel, which allows a natural treatment of signal observation.
