Among them, CCS (process calculus is one of the most important and mathematically developed models of communication and concurrency. Various behavior equivalences between agents, ... see all copies from $17.43! new only from $17.43! \| first editions \| SVS
13 view cover	Algebraic topology more books like this by Edwin Henry Spanier add to wishlist Intended for use both as a text and a reference, this book is an exposition of the fundamental ideas of algebraic topology. The first third of the book covers the fundamental group, its definition and its application in the study of covering spaces.
