(De-) Composing Causality in Labeled Transition Systems

G Caltais, S Leue, MR Mousavi - arXiv preprint arXiv:1608.07880, 2016 - arxiv.org
In this paper we introduce a notion of counterfactual causality in the Halpern and Pearl
sense that is compositional with respect to the interleaving of transition systems. The formal …

Responsibility in Actor-Based Systems

C Baier, S Klüppelholz, J Lehmann - arXiv preprint arXiv:2412.05162, 2024 - arxiv.org
