Abstract

This book describes a computational model that has fascinated me, since I first encountered it, almost ten years ago. I have gradually learned that despite its apparent simplicity, this concurrent transition model is a powerful conceptual tool with a broad range of applications as illustrated by the hardware oriented examples shown in this book and by the software oriented examples given in Chandy and Misra’s book on UNITY [10]. Furthermore, the model opens for a range of interesting manipulations, for example, formal verification, timing analysis, and synthesis. Each of these can be done in other models also, but using the concurrent transition model, a range manipulations are available using a single model.
