Communicating Process Architectures 2009
Communicating Process
Architectures 2009 will start on the evening of Sunday 1st. November, through
to lunchtime on 4th. November at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven
in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The conference will run in its normal style
(a single stream of refereed papers during the day and fringe events
in the evenings). This year, however, we shall be part of
Formal Methods Week 2009
where registration for CPA also gives access to the sessions of other
conferences, tutorials and workshops running simultaenously –
follow their sidebar link to "Schedule" for the outline timetable.
Welcome!
WoTUG is a forum set up to support those applying the CSP
model of parallel processing. You will find on this site articles and information
that can help you design and build concurrent software and hardware systems that
really work, day in, day out, without any need to spend man-years of debugging
effort.
- Information on CSP, the mathematical basis of our work
- Our papers, the distilled results of our work
- The KRoC retargettable occam compiler

The Abstract below is from a paper in our database:
A method for monitoring occam internal channels
By A. d'Acierno, Giuseppe de Pietro, Umberto Villano
In a Transputer environment, where the data exchange and the synchronizations between any two processes are carried out by means of I/O operations, the monitoring of the channels used for implementing the message exchange is of particular interest. In this paper a method is illustrated for monitoring the internal channels of an Occam program. This method introduces little CPU overhead, no additional communication cost, and preserves the synchronization behaviour of the two communicating processes. Its characteristics have been attained by means of a particular monitoring mechanism, based upon a rather unusual use of some Transputer machine language instructions, canonically used to implement guarded communications within the Occam ALT construct.
