One system, called SgrCCS, from this class is used to give a new operational semantics to Milner's Calculus of Communicating Systems. The set of CCS agents together with the traditional, interleaving based, derivation relation is proved isomorphic to the case graph of SgrCCS (when single transitions only are considered). Our achievement is twofold: first, we provide CCS with a semantics which is able to describe concurrency and causal dependencies between the actions the various agents can perform; second, we guarantee an adequate linguistic level for the particular class of Petri Nets which can be defined through CCS operators. date: 1986 date_type: published series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science volume: 280 publisher: Springer pagerange: 144-165 id_number: 10.1007/3-540-18419-8_13 refereed: TRUE isbn: 3-540-18419-8 book_title: Mathematical Models for the Semantics of Parallelism editors_name: Venturini Zilli, Marisa official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/3-540-18419-8_13 citation: Degano, Pierpaolo and De Nicola, Rocco and Montanari, Ugo CCS is an (Augmented) Contact Free C/E System.
