Beschreibung

Neuware - Bisher gibt es relativ wenig Bücher, die sich auf einführendem Niveau mit CSP (Communicating Sequential Processes), einer Theorie parallel laufender Systeme ('concurrent systems'), beschäftigen. Dieses Werk füllt eine Lücke; es ist das einzige gegenwärtig verfügbare Lehrbuch, an dem sich Dozenten orientieren können, die die Theorie solcher Systeme in vollem Umfang behandeln möchten. Eine ausgezeichnete Auswahl von Beispielen und Übungen motiviert die Studenten, sich näher mit diesem schwierigen Fachgebiet zu beschäftigen. (10/99). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780471623731

Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

The CSP approach has been widely used in the specification, analysis and verification of concurrent and real-time systems, and for understanding the particular issues that can arise when concurrency is present. It provides a language which enables specifications and designs to be clearly expressed and understood, together with a supporting theory which allows them to be analyzed and shown to be correct.

This book supports advanced level courses on concurrency covering timed and untimed CSP. The first half introduces the language of CSP, the primary semantic models (traces, failures, divergences and infinite traces), and their use in the modelling, analysis and verification of concurrent systems. The second half of the book introduces time into the language, brings in the timed semantic model (timed failures) and finally presents the theory of timewise refinement which links the two halves together.
