The author presents a theory of concurrent processes where three
different semantic description methods that are usually studied in
isolation are brought together. Petri nets describe processes as
concurrent and interacting machines; algebraic process terms
describe processes as abstract concurrent processes; and logical
formulas specify the intended communication behaviour of processes.
At the heart of this theory are two sets of transformation rules
for the top-down design of concurrent processes. The first set can
be used to transform stepwise logical formulas into process terms,
whilst process terms can be transformed into Petri nets by the
second set. These rules are based on novel techniques for the
operational and denotational semantics of concurrent processes.
Various results and relationships between nets, terms and formulas
starting with formulas and illustrated by examples. The use of
transformations is demonstrated in a series of case studies, and
the author also identifies directions for research.
