Introduction to processes (Tony Hoare's CSP processes)

During the design of the programming language which allows formal verification I had to design concurrency features as well. In order to define concurrency properly in the setup of formal verification some form of process algebra is needed. The process algebra and statemenst about properities of processes had to be integrated into the programming language.

The following paper describes how I intend to integrate concurrency into the programming language. I used Tony Hoare's CSP model (communicating sequential processes) as the basic theory.

Since the design of the programming language is still an ongoing activity any comments are welcome.
