A Theory of Recursive Domains with Applications to Concurrency
I will present a 2-categorical theory for recursively defined domains
generalising the traditional approach based on order-theoretic
structures to category-theoretic ones. A motivation for this work is
the need of a domain theory for concurrency with an account of
bisimulation.
This is joint work with Gian Luca Cattani and Glynn Winskel. An
extended abstract with our results appeared in the Proceedings of
LICS 1998.
