Specifying and analysing networks of processes in CSPt (or in search of associativity)
<10>Originality: This paper introduces alphabet diagrams, these identify difference categories of events that occur in networks of parallel CSP processes. Alphabet diagrams are used to identifying sufficient constraints, that are then used to prove new parallel associativity laws.
Significance: The new associativity laws are more useful than existing associativity laws, since when combined with alphabet diagrams, provide practising system designers with a methodology for constructing networks of CSP processes.
Rigour: A number of new parallel associativity laws are proved correct within the CSPt semantic model. Results published in proceedings of a specialist peer-reviewed conference.
