Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Truly Concurrent Process Algebra provides readers with a detailed and in-depth explanation of the algebra used for concurrent computing. This complete handbook is divided into five Parts: Algebraic Theory for Reversible Computing, Probabilistic Process Algebra for True Concurrency, Actors – A Process Algebra-Based Approach, Secure Process Algebra, and Verification of Patterns. The author demonstrates actor models which are captured using the following characteristics: Concurrency, Asynchrony, Uniqueness, Concentration, Communication Dependency, Abstraction, and Persistence. Truly concurrent process algebras are generalizations of the corresponding traditional process algebras. Handbook of Truly Concurrent Process Algebra introduces several advanced extensions and applications of truly concurrent process algebras. Part 1: Algebraic Theory for Reversible Computing provides readers with all aspects of algebraic theory for reversible computing, including the basis of semantics, calculi for reversible computing, and axiomatization for reversible computing. Part 2: Probabilistic Process Algebra for True Concurrency provides readers with all aspects of probabilistic process algebra for true concurrency, including the basis of semantics, calculi for probabilistic computing, axiomatization for probabilistic computing, as well as mobile calculi for probabilistic computing. Part 3: Actors - A Process Algebra-Based Approach bridges the two concurrent models, process algebra and actors, by capturing the actor model in the following characteristics: Concurrency, Asynchrony, Uniqueness, Concentration, Communication Dependency, Abstraction, and Persistence. Part 4: Secure Process Algebra demonstrates the advantages of process algebra in verifying security protocols – it has a firmly theoretic foundation and rich expressive powers to describe security protocols. Part 5: Verification of Patterns formalizes software patterns according to the categories of the patterns and verifies the correctness of patterns based on truly concurrent process algebra. Every pattern is detailed according to a regular format to be understood and utilized easily, which includes introduction to a pattern and its verifications. Patterns of the vertical domains are also provided, including the domains of networked objects and resource management. To help readers develop and implement the software patterns scientifically, the pattern languages are also presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains papers from the North American Process Algebra Workshop, held in Stony Brook, New York, 28 August 1992. This was the first in a proposed series of workshops, intended to increase awareness of process algebras in the United States and Canada, and to promote their use and development. The workshop was held simultaneously with CONCUR 92, the annual conference on concurrency theories. It provided an important forum for the discussion and exchange of ideas, and allowed recent developments in the application of algebraic techniques to concurrency theory to be presented. The resulting volume provides a good cross-section of current research work in Canada, USA and Europe. Among the specific topics covered are: real-time calculi and expansion theorems; modal logics in timed process algebra; process communication environment; a process calculus with incomparable priorities; exception handling in process algebra; bisimulations on observation structures; computing ready simulations efficiently; analysis of value-passing CCS agents with infinite sorts; an extension of the testing method for processes passing infinite values; constructive semantics; a causality-based semantics for CCS. NAPAW 92 provides an comprehensive overview of this important, up-and-coming area of computer science. It will provide essential reading for both postgraduate students and researchers in industry and academia.

Download or read book Handbook of Process Algebra written by J.A. Bergstra and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2001-03-16 with total page 1357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Process Algebra is a formal description technique for complex computer systems, especially those involving communicating, concurrently executing components. It is a subject that concurrently touches many topic areas of computer science and discrete math, including system design notations, logic, concurrency theory, specification and verification, operational semantics, algorithms, complexity theory, and, of course, algebra.This Handbook documents the fate of process algebra since its inception in the late 1970's to the present. It is intended to serve as a reference source for researchers, students, and system designers and engineers interested in either the theory of process algebra or in learning what process algebra brings to the table as a formal system description and verification technique. The Handbook is divided into six parts spanning a total of 19 self-contained Chapters. The organization is as follows. Part 1, consisting of four chapters, covers a broad swath of the basic theory of process algebra. Part 2 contains two chapters devoted to the sub-specialization of process algebra known as finite-state processes, while the three chapters of Part 3 look at infinite-state processes, value-passing processes and mobile processes in particular. Part 4, also three chapters in length, explores several extensions to process algebra including real-time, probability and priority. The four chapters of Part 5 examine non-interleaving process algebras, while Part 6's three chapters address process-algebra tools and applications.

Download or read book Process Algebra written by J. C. M. Baeten and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1990-10-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Process algebra, also known as the Algebra of Communicating Processes (ACP), is a mathematical theory or model of computer processes, particularly concurrent systems. In this introduction to ACP, the authors describe an algebraic formalism that can be used to specify, apply logic to, and improve parallel systems. Their axiomatic approach permits intensive calculations to be performed and establishes a uniform framework in which a range of models can be investigated. The book addresses issues such as parallelism, communication, abstraction, non-determinism, and fairness and provides many examples, so it should appeal to computer scientists and mathematicians alike. It is a unique introduction to this model of concurrent programming and will be essential reading for all computer scientists interested in parallel processing and algebraic methods in computer science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Automated and semi-automated manipulation of so-called labelled transition systems has become an important means in discovering flaws in software and hardware systems. Process algebra has been developed to express such labelled transition systems algebraically, which enhances the ways of manipulation by means of equational logic and term rewriting. The theory of process algebra has developed rapidly over the last twenty years, and verification tools have been developed on the basis of process algebra, often in cooperation with techniques related to model checking. This textbook gives a thorough introduction into the basics of process algebra and its applications.

Download or read book Truly Concurrent Process Algebra With Localities written by Yong Wang and published by Morgan Kaufmann. This book was released on 2024-10-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Truly Concurrent Process Algebra with Localities introduces localities into truly concurrent process algebras. Traditional parallelism often existed in distributed computing, as distributed systems are usually autonomous and local computers have been single-core, single-processor, and timed (timed computing is serial in nature). Today, due to the progress of hardware, multi-cores, multi-processors, and GPUs are now making the local computer truly parallel. Concurrent computing is an important means of addressing complexity in structuring software systems, with huge impacts in many areas of computing, including increased program throughput, high responsiveness to input and output, and program structure that is more appropriate to certain tasks. Distribution is an important aspect of concurrent systems and reflects in their semantics. The distributed semantics gives a measure of the degree of parallelism in concurrent systems and keeps track of the local semantics of components within the concurrent system. Static localities say that processes are equated if they are at the same location and have the same behaviors at each location, while dynamic localities say that locations are associated with actions rather than parallel components. The well-known process algebras, such as CCS, ACP and ? -calculus, capture the interleaving concurrency based on bisimilarity semantics. In this book, readers will be able to explore all aspects of localities in truly concurrent process algebras, such as Calculus for True Concurrency (CTC), which is a generalization of CCS for true concurrency, Algebra of Parallelism for True Concurrency (APTC), which is a generalization of ACP for true concurrency and ? Calculus for True Concurrency (?). Together, these approaches capture the so-called true concurrency based on truly concurrent bisimilarities, such as pomset bisimilarity, step bisimilarity, history-preserving (hp-) bisimilarity and hereditary history-preserving (hhp-) bisimilarity. Truly concurrent process algebras are generalizations of the corresponding traditional process algebras. This book provides readers with all aspects of algebraic theory for localities, including the basis of semantics, calculi for static localities, axiomatization for static localities, as well as calculi for dynamic localities, and axiomatization for dynamic localities.
