Just trying to get a feel for what sort of work we need to do before we can
make a convincing case ...
While many people believe the above, do we have any evidence - i.e. examples of
1M+LOC applications done with CSP? I'd guess that some of the Transputer
applications were large but I don't remember figures much bigger than 10's
of K LOC.
It has been said that Jackson's methods are basically CSP up to the point
that they get converted (by hand!) to C/C++. Are there any examples here?
Barry.
