Fixed-point Characterization of Compositionality Properties of   Probabilistic Processes Combinators
  Bisimulation metric is a robust behavioural semantics for probabilistic processes. Given any SOS specification of probabilistic processes, we provide a method to compute for each operator of the language its respective metric compositionality property. The compositionality property of an operator is defined as its modulus of continuity which gives the relative increase of the distance between processes when they are combined by that operator. The compositionality property of an operator is computed by recursively counting how many times the combined processes are copied along their evolution. The compositionality properties allow to derive an upper bound on the distance between processes by purely inspecting the operators used to specify those processes.
