Noninterference Security in Communicating Sequential Processes

An extension of classical noninterference security for deterministic state machines, as introduced by Goguen and Meseguer and elegantly formalized by Rushby, to nondeterministic systems should satisfy two fundamental requirements: it should be based on a mathematically precise theory of nondeterminism, and should be equivalent to (or at least not weaker than) the classical notion in the degener...

A Timed Model for Communicating Sequential Processes

The parallel language CSP [9], an earlier version of which was described in [7], has become a major tool for the analysis of structuring methods and proof systems involving parallelism. The significance of CSP is in the elegance by which a few simply stated constructs (e.g., sequential and parallel composition, nondeterministic choice, concealment, and recursion) lead to a language capable of e...

PyCSP - Communicating Sequential Processes for Python

The Python programming language is effective for rapidly writing programs and experimenting with them. It is increasingly being used in computational sciences, and in teaching computer science. CSP is effective for describing concurrency. It has become especially relevant with the emergence of commodity multi-core architectures. We are interested in exploring how a combination of Python and CSP...

A Model for Communicating Sequential Processes

This thesis describes tile construction and mathematical properties of a model for communicating sequential processes. We define a semantic model for processes based on failures, which encapsulate certain finite aspects of process behaviour and allow an elegant treatment of nondeterminism. We define a set of process operations, including nondeterministic choice, conditional composition, and var...
