Communicating Sequential Processes
内容简介
Communicating Sequential Processes, or CSP, is a language for describing patterns of interaction. It is supported by an elegant, mathematical theory, a set of proof tools, and an extensive literature. The book Communicating Sequential Processes was first published in 1985 by Prentice Hall International; it is an excellent introduction to the language, and also to the mathematical theory.
