Summary:Abstract: "In this paper, we study the issue of process creation from an algebraic perspective. The key to our approach, which is inspired by the work of America & De Bakker [AB], consists of giving a new interpretation to the operator symbol [symbol] (sequential composition) in the axiom system BPA of Bergstra & Klop [BK1,2,3]. We present a number of other models for BPA and show how the new interpretation of [symbol] naturally generalises the usual interpretation of ACP. We give an operational semantics based on Plotkin style inductive rules for a simple language with process creation and communication, and give a complete finite axiomatisation of the associated bisimulation model."
