Components as coalgebras : the refinement dimension

This paper characterizes refinement of state-based software components modeled as pointed coalgebras for some Set endofunctors. The proposed characterization is parametric on a specification of the underlying behaviour model introduced as astrong monad. This provides a basis to reason about (and tra...
