Stochastic Concurrent Constraint Programming

Description
Summary:We present a stochastic version of Concurrent Constraint Programming (CCP), where we associate a rate to each basic instruction that interacts with the constraint store. We give an operational semantic that can be provided either with a discrete or a continuous model of time. The notion of observables is discussed, both for the discrete and the continuous version, and a connection between the two is given. Finally, a possible application for modeling biological networks is presented.
