A coalgebraic treatment of conditional transition systems with upgrades by Harsh Beohar, Barbara König, Sebastian Küpper, Alexandra Silva, Thorsten Wißmann

“…We consider conditional transition systems, that model software product lines with upgrades, in a coalgebraic setting. By using Birkhoff's duality for distributive lattices, we derive two equivalent Kleisli categories in which these coalgebras live: Kleisli categories based on the reader and on the so-called lattice monad over $\mathsf{Poset}$. …”
