  abstract= "DS-links were created to provide a low-latency, high
     performance data link between parallel processors. When the
     primary processor using them was withdrawn these links
     largely disappeared from view but were, in fact, still being
     used (albeit not for parallel computing) in the Space
     industry. The potential for these links, with their simple
     implementation, led to their adoption, in modified form, for
     a growing range of data communication applications. In 2003,
     the European Space Agency published a definition of DS-links
     known as SpaceWire. We briefly describe the original
     DS-links and detail how SpaceWire has kept or modified them
     to produce a now popular technology with a rapidly
     increasing number of implementations and wide take-up."

     months at the University of Copenhagen. CSP.NET is an object
     oriented CSP library designed to ease concurrent and
     distributed programming in Microsoft.NET 2.0. The library
     supports both shared memory multiprocessor systems and
     distributed-memory multicomputers and aims towards making
     the architecture transparent to the programmer. CSP.NET
     exploits the power of .NET Remoting to provide the
     distributed capabilities and like JCSP, CSP.NET relies
     exclusively on operating system threads. A Name Server and a
     workerpool are included in the library, both implemented as
     Windows Services. This paper presents CSP.NET from a users
     perspective and provides a tutorial along with some
     implementation details and performance tests."

     mobile phone, wi-fi and Bluetooth capability means that the
     opportunities for increased access by mobile devices to
     services provided within a smaller locality becomes
     feasible. This increase in availability might, however, be
     tempered by users switching off their devices as they are
     overloaded with a multitude of messages from a variety of
     sources. A wide range of opportunities can be realised if we
     can provide a managed environment in which people can access
     wireless services specific to a particular physical site or
     location in a ubiquitous manner, independent of the service,
     and they can also choose from which services they are
     willing to receive messages. These opportunities range from
     retail promotions as a person walks down the street, to
     shopper specific offers as people enter stores that utilise
     reward card systems, to information about bus arrivals at a
     bus stop, additional curatorial information within a museum
     and access to health records within a hospital environment.
     The CPA paradigm offers a real opportunity to provide such
     capability with mobile processes, rather than the current
     approach that, typically, gives users access to web pages."

     everywhere: sometimes they are hidden and at other times
     they are handled as a fashion accessory. In order to serve
     us better they have to do more and more tasks at the same
     time. This calls for sophisticated mechanisms to handle
     concurrency. In this paper we present CSP (Communicating
     Sequential Processes) as a method which helps to solve a
     number of problems of embedded concurrent systems. To be
     specific, we describe implementations of the commstime
     benchmark in multithreaded, multiprocessor and architecture
     fusion systems. An architecture fusion system combines
     machine and hardware-logic architectures. Our results are
     twofold. First, architecture fusion systems outperform all
     the other systems we tested. Second, we implemented all the
     systems without a change in the design philosophy. The
     second point is the more important result, because it shows
     the power of CSP based design methods."

     performance of JCSP.net. The system consists of a primary
     login server, secondary servers managing play on
     geographically distinct playing fields, and an arbitrary
     number of players. The basic structure of the game system is
     fairly simple, and has been verified to be free from
     deadlock and livelock using CSP and FDR. The JCSP.net
     implementation is straight-forward and includes over-writing
     buffers so that disconnected players will not block the
     servers and other players. Performance tests on local area
     networks under Windows demonstrate that five secondary
     servers easily support 1,000 machine-generated players
     making moves every two to five seconds. The player move
     end-to-end time was about 65 milliseconds, which is
     considered fast enough to support fast-action online games.
     Conversion from Windows to Linux required minimal effort;
     limited tests confirmed that versions using Linux alone, and
     Windows and Linux together, were also successful."

     interaction among participating components is formalized via
     the notion of interaction contract. The used approach
     enables incremental design of execution diagrams by adding
     restrictions in different interaction diagrams throughout

     diagrams are related into a single formally verifiable
     system. The concept of reusable formally verifiable

     design patterns for typical fault tolerance interaction
     scenarios."

  abstract= "Using the extended model for view-centric reasoning, EVCR,
     we focus on the many possibilities for concurrent processes
     to be composed. EVCR is an extension of VCR, both models of
     true concurrency; VCR is an extension of CSP, which is based
     on an interleaved semantics for modeling concurrency. VCR,
     like CSP, utilizes traces of instantaneous events, though
     VCR permits recording parallel events to preserve the
     perception of simultaneity by the observer(s). But observed
     simultaneity is a contentious issue, especially for events
     that are supposed to be instantaneous. EVCR addresses this
     issue in two ways. First, events are no longer
     instantaneous; they occur for some duration of time. Second,
     parallel events need not be an all-or-nothing proposition;
     it is possible for events to partially overlap in time.
     Thus, EVCR provides a more realistic and appropriate level
     of abstraction for reasoning about concurrent processes.
     With EVCR, we begin to move from observation to the
     specification of concurrency, and the compositions of
     concurrent processes. As one example of specification, we
     introduce a description of I/O-PAR composition that leads to
     simplified reasoning about composite I/O-PAR processes."

     between academics and software engineers. I-Mathic
     comprehends a software specification refinement and

     eliminating the gap through hiding the applied mathematics
     by practical modelling concepts. The model-checker FDR is

     workshop, we discovered that the initial implementation
     contained two errors: both concerning malignant process
     rescheduling associated with timers and 'reuse' of the input
     side of a channel. Also, the set of process/dataflow
     patterns was not sufficient. To keep complexity low, we have
     made two new patterns to reflect better the semantic needs
     inherent in the application. Our assumption of correctness
     is also, this time, based both on heuristics and
     'white-board reasoning'. However, both the previous and this
     paper have been produced before any first shipment of the
     product, and well within full-scale testing. Our solutions
     and way of attacking the problems have been in an industrial
     tradition."

  abstract= "In this paper, we present the results of a significant and
     large case study in Circus. Development is top-down - from a
     sequential abstract specification about which safety
     properties can be verified, to a highly concurrent
     implementation on a Field Programmable Gate Array.
     Development steps involve applying laws of Circus allowing
     for the refinement of specifications; confidence in the
     correctness of the development is achieved through the
     applicability of the laws applied; proof obligations are
     discharged using the model-checker for CSP, FDR, and the
     theorem prover for Z, Z/Eves. An interesting feature of this
     case study is that the design of the implementation is
     guided by domain knowledge of the application - the
     application of this domain knowledge is supported by, rather
     than constrained by the calculus. The design is not what
     would have been expected had the calculus been applied
     without this domain knowledge. Verification highlights a
     curious error made in early versions of the implementation
     that were not detected by testing."

     through a survey given to graduate students in a parallel
     message passing programming class, we categorize the errors
     they made (and the ways they fixed the bugs) into a number
     of categories. Secondly, we analyze these answers and
     provide some insight into how software could be built to aid
     the development, deployment, and debugging of parallel
     message passing systems. We draw parallels to similar
     studies done for sequential programming, and finally show
     how the idea of multilevel debugging relates to the results
     from the survey."

     language for specifying, implementing and reasoning about
     concurrent processes and their interactions. Existing
     software tools that deal with CSP directly are largely
     concerned with assisting formal proofs. This paper presents
     an alternative use for CSP, namely the compilation of CSP
     systems to executable code. Themain motivation for this work
     is in providing a means to experimentwith relatively large
     CSP systems, possibly consisting millions of concurrent
     processes - something that is hard to achieve with the tools
     currently available."
