Bisimulation equivalences and bisimulation metrics are fundamental notions to describe behavioral relations and distances of states, respectively. We provide a method to generate from a PTSS a sound and ground-complete equational axiomatization for strong and convex bisimilarity. The construction is based on the method of Aceto, Bloom and Vaandrager developed for non-deterministic transition system specifications. The novelty in our approach is to employ many-sorted algebras to axiomatize separately non-deterministic choice, probabilistic choice and their interaction. Furthermore, we generalize this method to axiomatize the strong and convex metric bisimulation distance of PTSS.}, isbn = {978-3-642-54829-1}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-642-54830-7_19}, author = {Pedro R.
