Title
Kleene Algebra with Observations.
Abstract
Kleene algebra with tests (KAT) is an algebraic framework for reasoning about the control flow of sequential programs. However, when generalising KAT to reason about concurrent programs, axioms native to KAT in conjunction with expected axioms for reasoning about concurrency lead to an unexpected equation. In this paper, we propose Kleene algebra with observations (KAO), a variant of KAT, as an alternative foundation for extending KAT to a concurrent setting. We characterise the free model of KAO, and establish a decision procedure w.r.t. its equational theory.
