Abstract
We investigate the limit behavior of a class of stochastic hybrid systems obtained by hybrid approximation of Stochastic Concurrent Constraint Programming (sCCP). We prove that a sequence of Continuous Time Markov Chain (CTMC), constructed from sCCP programs parametrically with respect to a notion of system size, converges a.s., in the limit of divergent size, to the hybrid approximation.
