%A C. A. R. Hoare
%T Communicating Sequential Processes
%C Englewood Cliffs, NJ
%I Prentice-Hall
%D 1985
%X Must reading for those interested in distributed processing. High
level discussions of various operators one might think about in the
message passing realm. Discusses failures.

%T Operating system: advanced concepts
%C Menlo Park, CA
%I The Benjamin/Cummings Publishing Company, Inc.
%D 1986
%X Excellent reference for a variety of subjects. Discusses parallel
and distributed systems from several viewpoints. Includes some good
discussions on distributed databases. Readable for computer scientists;
others might have to review some operating system terminology
%A Robin Milner
%T A calculus of communicating systems
%C Berlin
