摘要:
本文将数学工具应用于软件系统中软件包依赖关系的研究。我们引入了称为带选择的依赖结构(DSC)的结构,该结构受并发研究中的一般事件结构定义的启发,为这类依赖关系提供了数学描述。我们为 DSC 配备了特定的态射概念,并证明 DSC 范畴与反拟阵范畴同构。我们研究了这些等价范畴的精确性性质,并证明它们是有限完备的,具有有限余积但并非所有余等化子都存在。此外,我们利用 Bruns-Lakser 完备化的简单有限刻画,构造了一个从配备了特定态射子类的 DSC 范畴到有限分配格范畴的相反范畴的函子,最后,我们引入了软件包版本的形式化描述以及软件包版本约束策略的数学描述。
英文摘要:
This paper brings mathematical tools to bear on the study of package dependencies in software systems. We introduce structures known as Dependency Structures with Choice (DSC) that provide a mathematical account of such dependencies, inspired by the definition of general event structures in the study of concurrency. We equip DSCs with a particular notion of morphism and show that the category of DSCs is isomorphic to the category of antimatroids. We study the exactness properties of these equivalent categories, and show that they are finitely complete, have finite coproducts but not all coequalizers. Further, we construct a functor from a category of DSCs equipped with a certain subclass of morphisms to the opposite of the category of finite distributive lattices, making use of a simple finite characterization of the Bruns-Lakser completion, and finally, we introduce a formal account of versions of packages and introduce a mathematical account of package version-bound policies.
