%X Research augmenting B machines presented at B2007 has
   demonstrated how fragments of control flow expressed as
   annotations can be added to associated machine operations,
   and shown to be consistent. This enables
   designers&\[sh]8217; understanding about local
   relationships between successive operations to be captured
   at the point the operations are written, and used later when
   the controller is developed. This paper introduces several
   new annotations and I/O into the framework to take advantage
   of hardware&\[sh]8217;s parallelism and to
   facilitate refinement and translation. To support the new
   annotations additional CSP control operations are added to
   the control language that now includes: recursion,
   prefixing, external choice, if\-then\-else, and sequencing.
   We informally sketch out a translation to Handel\-C for
   prototyping.
