Zusammenfassung

A DP program consists of a fixed number of concurrent and persistent processes, that are started simultaneously. We assume the processes as being numbered, hence the program is denoted as (P1 ||... || Pn), n≥ 2. A process does not contain parallel statements, nor shared variables. The syntax of a process is as follows:

  • process <name>

  • <private variables>

  • <common procedures>

  • <initial statement>
