%B Communicating Process Architectures 2008
%X To improve feedback on how concurrent CSP\-based programs
run, the
graphical CSP design tool (gCSP) has been extended
with animation
facilities. The state of processes,
constructs, and channel ends
are indicated with colours both
in the gCSP diagrams and in the
composition tree
(hierarchical tree showing the structure of the
total
program). Furthermore, the contents of the channels are
also
shown. In this Fringe session, we will present and
demonstrate
this prototype animation facility, being the
result of the MSc
project of Hans van der Steen, and ask for
feedback.
