Following Costa and Stirling’s approach for CCS-like languages, we consider a method to label process actions in order to filter out unfair computations. We contrast the existing fair-testing notion with those that naturally arise by imposing weak and strong fairness. This comparison provides insight about the expressiveness of the various ‘fair’ testing semantics and about their discriminating power. rv:
