A short note on Simulation and Abstraction
This short note is written in celebration of David Schmidt's sixtieth
birthday. He has now been active in the program analysis research community for
over thirty years and we have enjoyed many interactions with him. His work on
characterising simulations between Kripke structures using Galois connections
was particularly influential in our own work on using probabilistic abstract
interpretation to study Larsen and Skou's notion of probabilistic bisimulation.
We briefly review this work and discuss some recent applications of these ideas
in a variety of different application areas.Comment: In Proceedings Festschrift for Dave Schmidt, arXiv:1309.455
