Communicating Process Architectures 2001

Concurrency is an integral part of everyday life. The concept is so ingrained in our existence that we benefit from it without realizing. When faced with a taxing problem, we automatically involve others to solve it more easily. Such concurrent solutions to a complex problem may, however, not be quite straightforward and communication becomes crucial to ensure the successful solution of the problem. All modern computing systems incorporate some form of concurrency. Over many years, the WoTUG series of conferences has been a major forum for the presentation of state-of-the art ideas on concurrency and communication. This volume continues this trend: these proceedings contain 22 papers discussing a wide range of issues fundamental to the future of concurrency. The topics covered include: theory (such as development to Hoare's algebra of communicating sequential processes); hardware and real-time systems; software architecture and design; and applications.
