This book sets the standard for the field. It assembles the relevant results of most process algebras currently in use, and presents them in a unified framework and notation. The authors describe the theory underlying the development, realization and maintenance of software that occurs in parallel or distributed systems. A system can be specified in the syntax provided, and the axioms can be used to verify that a composed system has the required external behavior. As examples, two protocols are completely specified and verified in the text: the Alternating-Bit Protocol for Data Communication, and Fischer’s Protocol of Mutual Exclusion. The book serves as a reference text for researchers and graduate students in computer science, offering a complete overview of the field and referring to further literature where appropriate.  aMathematics10aBasten, T.  2ddc  00102ddc406004_100000000000000_BAE7095632aLPLbLPLd2025-07-24l0o004.1 BAEp16032r2025-07-24 10:41:01w2025-07-24yBK  c4718d4718
