The Difference between Splitting innandn+1
Rob van Glabbeek, Frits Vaandrager · Information and Computation · 1997
It is established that durational and structural aspects of actions can in general not be modeled in standard interleaving semantics, even when a time-consuming action is represented by a pair of instantaneous actions denoting its start and finish. By means of a series of counterexamples it is shown that, for any n , it makes a difference whether actions are split in n or in n +1 parts.
