(Hybrid) automata and (stochastic) programs The hybrid automata lattice of a stochastic program

We define a semantics for stochastic Concurrent Constraint Programming (sCCP), a stochastic process algebra, in terms of stochastic hybrid automata with piecewise deterministic continuous dynamics. To each program we associate a lattice of hybrid models, parameterized with respect to the degree of discreteness left. We study some properties of this lattice, presenting also an alternative semantics in which the degree of discreteness can be dynamically changed.
