%T CSP: Arriving at the CHANnel Island (an Industrial Practitioner\[rs]s Diary: in Search of a New Fairway) %A Øyvind Teig %E Peter H. Welch, Andr\[`e] W. P. Bakkers %B Communicating Process Architectures 2000 %X This paper is a non\-academic hands\-on log of practical experiences of software engineering problems, where the process leading to the decision to use CSP to program real\-time systems is on trial. A new and hopefully objective decision process is instigated. What we have previously learnt by using CSP in embedded real\-time process control is used as subjective basis (or bias?) for the new process. The conclusion seems to be that CSP should be sufficiently future\-proof to justify its use even in new projects. The term CSP is here used as shorthand for both the CSP language proper and different implementations of subsets.
