Abstract
In concurrent process theory, processors are often modeled by state machines and Petri Nets. Algebraic process theories based on state machines, exemplified by Milner's CCS and Hoare's CSP, have been more fully developed than Net-based theories, but are inadequate for modeling "true" concurrency concepts such as non-atomic actions, action refinement, locality of actions, and multithreadedness.
