Abstract
In this chapter, communication, concurrency, and causality are introduced as basic aspects of reactive systems together with different levels of abstraction for each aspect, giving prominent examples of specific models as specifically useful combinations. By relating models along different dimension, we show how to set up development processes allowing not only to support step-wise adding of implementation details, but also to treat different aspects of a system in isolation and to combine the results, leading to a fork-and-join approach.
