Abstract :
We present a denotational semantics designed with metric spaces and continuations for an abstract concurrent language embodying two new features: the semantics of parallel composition is based on the concept of maximal parallelism, and computations are specified by means of multiset rewriting rules. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper that presents a metric denotational semantics for this combination of features, encountered also in membrane computing.
