Homology of spaces of directed paths in Euclidean pattern spaces
arXiv:1512.05978
Abstract
The paper addresses certain topological aspects of Dijkstra's PV-model for parallel computations in concurrency theory. The main result is a computation of the homology of the trace space associated with PV-programs in which access and release of every resource happen without time delay.
