Abstract
A process is a unit with the capacity of performing an activity by which it may interact with other units and/or with the environment. The interactions may involve communicating, synchronizing, cooperating, acting in parallel, competing for resources with other processes and/or with the environment. By “concurrent systems” we mean processes which may consist of other processes (or in turn concurrent systems) operating concurrently.
