Communicating Process Architectures 2001: WoTUG-24

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.
