Abstract

Thread algebra is a domain-specific process algebra which may be used for semantic work on sequential systems, including systems based on deterministically scheduled multi-threading. Thread algebra is used in this capacity with the forecasting phenomenon for programs and machines as a domain of interest. Several new informal notions are proposed: prospecting services, foresight patterns for systems, and lookahead conditions as a mechanism for the specification of services. Some new prospecting services are proposed which facilitate the realisation of certain foresight patterns. Several negative results about the non-realisability of certain foresight patterns are provided.
