Fuzzy Labeled Transition Refinement Tree (FLTRT) is a rigorous refinement model which supports abstraction and handling incomplete information and by the way reducing complexity of refinement process. It is based on Fuzzy Labeled Transition System (FLTS) which is a generalization of wellknown Labeled Transition System, enhanced by fuzziness facility. The FLTRT structure serves as a tree of potential concurrent design trajectories of the system. In this paper, we study bisimulation relations on FLTSs which are categorized into two classes: horizontal and vertical bisimulation relations. The former class aims to identify equivalent specifications of the same abstraction level. However, the second one relates specifications that belong conceptually to different abstraction levels. Vertical bisimulation relation aims to check correctness of a given implementation with respect to its initial specification. FLTRT structure preserves the vertical bisimulation relation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
