Summary

This volume provides an elementary introduction to Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) and its use as a formal method for understanding concurrency. Examples and exercises are presented throughout to aid teaching and to help motivate students studying this difficult subject.

Concurrent and Real-time Systems Summary

Concurrent and Real-time Systems: The CSP Approach by Steve Schneider

The CSP approach has been widely used in the specification, analysis and verification of concurrent and real-time systems, and for understanding the particular issues that can arise when concurrency is present. It provides a language which enables specifications and designs to be clearly expressed and understood, together with a supporting theory which allows them to be analyzed and shown to be correct. This book supports advanced level courses on concurrency covering timed and untimed CSP. The first half introduces the language of CSP, the primary semantic models (traces, failures, divergences and infinite traces), and their use in the modelling, analysis and verification of concurrent systems. The second half of the book introduces time into the language, brings in the timed semantic model (timed failures) and finally presents the theory of timewise refinement which links the two halves together.
