CSP’s Syntax (Cont’ed)
n Parallel operator w/synchronization: P || Q
n P and Q proceed in parallel and are obliged to
synchronize on all the common actions
n Example:   (c ? x g P(x)) || (c ! m g Q)
n Synchronization: the two processes can proceed only if
their actions correspond
n Handshaking: sending and receiving is symultaneous
(clearly an abstraction. Buffered communication can
anyway be modeled by implementing a buffer process)
n Communication: m is transmitted to the first process,
which continues as P(m).
n Broadcasting: c ! m is available for other parallel procs
n Question: what happens with the process
                   ((c?xgP(x)) [] (d?y gQ(y)))  ||  (c!m gR)
