Communicating Process Architectures 2008
CPA 2008 will start on the evening of Sunday 7th September, through
to lunchtime on Wednesday 10th September, at the University of York in Yorkshire (UK).
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
- A page about the group.
The Abstract below is from a paper in our database:
Towards a Semantics for Prioritized Alternation
By Ian R. East
A new prioritised alternation programming construct and CSP operator have previously been suggested by the author to express behaviour that arises with machine-level prioritised vectored interruption. The semantics of each is considered, though that of prioritisation is deferred given the current lack of consensus regarding a suitable domain. Defining axioms for the operator are tentatively proposed, along with possible laws regarding behaviour. Lastly, the issue of controlled termination of component and construct is explored. This is intended as only a first step towards a complete semantics.
