We consider an imperative process algebra, IPAL, which is obtained by embedding the Linda primitives for interprocess communication in a CSP-like process description language enriched with a construct for assignment. We setup a testing scenario and present a proof system for IPAL which is sound and complete with respect to the induced behavioural relations.}, url = {http://eprints.imtlucca.it/358/} }
