Generalized SBC Process Algebra for Communication and Concurrency: The Structure-Behavior Coalescence Approach

Single-queue SBC process algebra (S-SBC-PA), multi-queue SBC process algebra (M-SBC-PA), infinite-queue SBC process algebra (I-SBC-PA) and generalized SBC process algebra (G-SBC-PA) possessing the characteristics of structure-behavior coalescence (SBC) and all evolved from CCS (Calculus of Communicating Systems). CCS is a general process algebra language for the study of concurrent systems.
In one way, three specialized SBC process algebras S-SBC-PA, M-SBC-PA and I-SBC-PA, less like CCS, are only applicable to systems architecture. In another way, generalized SBC process algebra, more like CCS, is a general process algebra language for the study of communication and concurrency.
We shall go through the details of generalized SBC process algebra in this book. Hopefully, readers will be able to identify the differences between CCS and G-SBC-PA.

Dr. William S. Chao is the CEO & founder of SBC Architecture International(R). SBC (Structure-Behavior Coalescence) architecture is a systems architecture which demands the integration of systems structure and systems behavior of a system. SBC architecture applies to hardware architecture, software architecture, enterprise architecture, knowledge architecture, and thinking architecture. The core theme of SBC architecture is: Architecture = Structure + Behavior. William S. Chao received his bachelor degree (1976) in telecommunication engineering and master degree (1981) in information engineering, both from the National Chiao-Tung University, Taiwan. From 1976 till 1983, he worked as an engineer at Chung-Hwa Telecommunication Company, Taiwan. William S. Chao received his master degree (1985) in information science and Ph.D. degree (1988) in information science, both from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, USA. From 1988 till 1991, he worked as a computer scientist at GE Research and Development Center, Schenectady, New York, USA. Dr. William S. Chao has been teaching at National Sun Yat-Sen University, Taiwan since 1992 and now serves as the president of Association of Enterprise Architects, Taiwan Chapter. His research covers: systems architecture, hardware architecture, software architecture, enterprise architecture, knowledge architecture, and thinking architecture.
