Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP)

Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) is a mathematical approach to describing and analyzing how different processes or systems interact through communication. It focuses on the sequences of events that occur and how these events depend on each other, allowing for a clear representation of them working together. CSP helps identify potential issues like deadlock (where processes get stuck) and ensures that communication happens correctly between processes. This method is widely used in computer science, especially in designing concurrent systems, making sure they operate efficiently and reliably.
