Title
Interactive Small-Step Algorithms I: Axiomatization
Abstract
In earlier work, the Abstract State Machine Thesis - that arbitrary algorithms are behaviorally equivalent to abstract state machines - was established for several classes of algorithms, including ordinary, interactive, small-step algorithms. This was accomplished on the basis of axiomatizations of these classes of algorithms. Here we extend the axiomatization and, in a companion paper, the proof, to cover interactive small-step algorithms that are not necessarily ordinary. This means that the algorithms (1) can complete a step without necessarily waiting for replies to all queries from that step and (2) can use not only the environment's replies but also the order in which the replies were received.
