Reversibility and Asymmetric Conflict in Event Structures

Reversible computation has attracted increasing interest in recent years, with applications in hardware, software and biochemistry. We introduce reversible forms of prime event structures and asymmetric event structures. In order to control the manner in which events are reversed, we use asymmetric conflict on events. We discuss, with examples, reversing in causal order, where an event is only reversed once all events it caused have been reversed, as well as forms of non-causal reversing.
