Communicating Sequential Processes

Thanks should go to Jim Davies at the Dept of Computer Science, University of Oxford for editing & releasing this updated version on the web by the way.

There is a library for Haskell that is largely inspired by these ideas.

You can find the project page at http://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/projects/ofa/chp/ and an introduction to CSP that relates the ideas back to this library here http://chplib.wordpress.com/2009/11/16/an-introduction-to-co...

Here's a link to a PDF of the original 1978 paper:

via http://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html#concurrency

Slightly off topic, but does anyone have experience of the Software Engineering course mentioned at the end of the linked page? The functional/concurrent programming courses look quite interesting, speaking as someone who hasn't studied CS formally, but has dabbled in Haskell/PL theory and would like to learn more.

I work in the department, so I can at least tell you who to ask if you've got any questions: Email is in my profile.
