Coinduction is a method for specifying and reasoning about infinite data types
and automata with infinite behaviour. In recent years, it has come to play an
ever more important role in the theory of computing. It is studied in many
disciplines, including process theory and concurrency, modal logic and
automata theory. Typically, coinductive proofs demonstrate the equivalence of
two objects by constructing a suitable bisimulation relation between them.
This collection of surveys is aimed at both researchers and Master's students
in computer science and mathematics and deals with various aspects of
bisimulation and coinduction, with an emphasis on process theory. Seven
chapters cover the following topics: history, algebra and coalgebra,
algorithmics, logic, higher-order languages, enhancements of the bisimulation
proof method, and probabilities. Exercises are also included to help the reader
master new material.
