CONCUR '91: 2nd International Conference on Concurrency Theory, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, August 26-29, 1991. Proceedings [Paperback]

CONCUR'91 is the second international conference onconcurrency theory, organized in association with the NFIproject Transfer. It is a sequel to the CONCUR'90conference. Its basic aim is to communicate ongoing work inconcurrency theory. This proceedings volume contains 30papers selected for presentation at the conference (from 71submitted) together with four invited papers and abstractsof the other invited papers. The papers are organized intosections on process algebras, logics and model checking,applications and specification languages, models and nettheory, design and real-time, tools and probabilities, andprogramming languages. The proceedings of CONCUR'90 areavailable asVolume 458 of Lecture Notes in ComputerScience.Formal techniques for parallel object-oriented languages.- Causal models for rational algebraic processes.- Action and state-based logics for process algebras.- A tool set for deciding behavioral equivalences.- Causality based models for the design of concurrent systems.- Modal logics for mobile processes.- Towards a design calculus for communicating programs.- A theory of testing for ACP.- Real space process algebra.- The failure of failures in a paradigm for asynchronous communication.- Embedding as a tool for language comparison: On the CSP hierarchy.- A conditional operator for CCS.- Algebraic formulations of trace theory.- Compositional synthesis of live and bounded free choice Petri nets.- The observation algebra of spatial pomsets.- Synchrony loosening transformations for interacting processes.- A compositional model for layered distributed systems.- Process algebra with guards.- Model checking and modular verification.- Geometric logic, causality and event structures.- Extended Horn clauses: the framework and some semantics.- Action systems and action refinement in the development of parallel systems.- Invariant semantics of nets with inhibitor arcs.- Abstract timed observation and proclӍ
