  abstract= "Though we have language guarantees for avoiding
     race-hazards, and design-rules and formal-methods for
     guaranteeing freedom from deadlock, livelock and starvation,
     the work involved in checking the latter typically
     discourages their use. This talk briefly examines a new
     approach to guaranteeing process behaviour in occam-\π,
     that removes most, if not all, of the leg-work involved in
     checking programs manually \– a process that itself is
     error prone. Behaviour specifications are given in-program,
     that our experimental compiler checks against the actual
     implementation. Furthermore, the compiler is capable of
     generating the behavioural specification of any process,
     which it does using a CSP-like language, for use
     with separate compilation or for other formal verification."
