Idealized CSP {call-by-name} {procedures} with {asynchronous} communicating processes, assuming fair parallel execution. Idealized CSP generalises {Anthony Hoare}'s original {CSP} and Kahn's networks of {deterministic} processes, and is closely related to {Parallel Algol} by Stephen Brookes of {CMU}. Procedures permit the encapsulation of common {protocols} and parallel programming idioms. {Local variables} and local channel declarations provide a way to delimit the scope of interference between parallel agents, and allow a form of concurrent {object-oriented programming}. [Was this language also designed by Brookes?] (1997-09-26) | |
