Resumen de Branching Space-Times and Parallel Processing
There is a remarkable similarity between some mathematical objects used in the Branching Space-Times framework and those appearing in computer science in the fields of event structures for concurrent processing and Chu spaces. This paper introduces the similarities and formulates a few open questions for further research, hoping that both BST theorists and computer scientists can benefit from the project. This paper stems from a joint project with Thomas Müller (Universiteit Utrecht), who told me of the idea, triggered by a remark by Hu Liu, of connecting the Branching Space-Times theory to the approaches to parallel processing found in computer science.
