Following the object-oriented paradigm, static and dynamic system properties have to be taken into account. The aspect of distribution brings in concurrency and communication.\ In this paper we formalize a refinement criterion for concurrent object systems which is inspired by the notion of serializable schedules as known from transaction processing theory.</style></abstract><label><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Den96b</style></label></record></records></xml>
