%X Both Lawrence’s HCSP [1] and Smith, et al’s VCR [2] (an
   earlier versionappears in [3]) extend CSP [4] with
   representations of truly concurrent events. Previously,VCR
   was described using an operational semantics, while the
   semantics ofHCSP’s Acceptances model, like those of the
   predominant CSP models described byRoscoe [5] (e.g., Traces,
   Failures / Divergences), are denotational. We now present
   adenotational semantics for VCRand, in so doing, propose an
   extension toHCSP (andpossibly other existing CSP models) to
   support View\-Centric Reasoning. This workbrings VCR a step
   closer to being drawn within Hoare and He’s Unifying
   Theories ofProgramming [6] for further comparisons.
