Abstract. This paper studies the relationships between three notions
of behavioural preorder that have been proposed in the literature: re-
finement over modal transition systems, and the covariant-contravariant
simulation and the partial bisimulation preorders over labelled transition
systems. It is shown that there are mutual translations between modal
transition systems and labelled transition systems that preserve, and
