%X CSP, Hoare\[rs]s Communicating Sequential Processes, is one
   of the formalisms that underpins the antecedents of CPA, and
   this year celebrates its Silver Jubilee. Formal Systems\[rs]
   own FDR refinement checker is among the most powerful
   explicit exhaustive finite\-state exploration tools, and is
   tailored specifically to the CSP semantics. The CSPm ASCII
   form of CSP, in which FDR scripts are expressed, is the
   de\-facto standard for CSP tools. Recent work has
   experimentally extended the notation to include a
   probabilistic choice construct, and added functionality into
   FDR to produce models suitable for analysis by the
   Birmingham University PRISM tool.
