Beyond Bounded Communication

Concurrent computation is a rapidly growing field that studies the behavior of systems composed of multiple interacting components. These systems are often found in a wide range of applications, including operating systems, distributed systems, real-time systems, and embedded systems.
The study of concurrent computation is challenging due to the inherent complexity of these systems. One of the main challenges is that the behavior of a concurrent system depends not only on the individual components but also on the interactions between them. This makes it difficult to predict and reason about the behavior of these systems.
Another challenge in concurrent computation is the need for concurrency control. Concurrency control is a set of techniques used to ensure that multiple components can access and modify shared resources in a safe and consistent manner. Without proper concurrency control, concurrent systems can suffer from a variety of problems, such as deadlocks, race conditions, and data corruption.
**Beyond Bounded Communication: Unifying Theories in Concurrent Computation** provides a comprehensive introduction to the foundations of concurrent computation. It covers a wide range of topics, including models of computation, process calculi, Petri nets, event structures, and process algebras. The book also discusses various techniques for the analysis and verification of concurrent systems, including model checking, process verification, and performance analysis.
This book is unique in its focus on unifying theories in concurrent computation. It shows how different theories can be used to model and analyze the same system, and it highlights the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. This unified approach provides a deeper understanding of the fundamental principles of concurrent computation and allows readers to choose the most appropriate theory for their specific needs.
**Beyond Bounded Communication: Unifying Theories in Concurrent Computation** is an essential resource for undergraduate and graduate students in computer science, as well as practitioners who are interested in learning more about concurrent computation. The book is written in a clear and accessible style and assumes no prior knowledge of the subject.
