Description for Understanding Concurrent Systems
paperback. Since the introduction of Hoares' Communicating Sequential Process (CSP) notation, powerful new tools have transformed CSP into a practical way of describing industrial-sized problems. This book presents the basic CSP knowledge needed to utilize those tools. Series: Texts in Computer Science. Num Pages: 548 pages, biography. BIC Classification: UL; UM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 28. Weight in Grams: 760.
CSP notation has been used extensively for teaching and applying concurrency theory, ever since the publication of the text Communicating Sequential Processes by C.A.R. Hoare in 1985. Both a programming language and a specification language, the theory of CSP helps users to understand concurrent systems, and to decide whether a program meets its specification. As a member of the family of process algebras, the concepts of communication and interaction are presented in an algebraic style. An invaluable reference on the state of the art in CSP, Understanding Concurrent Systems also serves as a comprehensive introduction to the field, in ... Read more
