Overview

The need for systems definition arises because any real-life system is inherently complicated. It is impossible to comprehend fully the intricate interaction of any system of the real world with its environment, or to define all its components and each of its details. Systems definition or system definition is an artifact created by humans to define what a system is.Process algebras are a diverse family of related approaches to the study of concurrent systems. Their tools are algebraic languages for the high-level description of interactions, communications, and synchronizations among independent processes. Process algebras also provide algebraic laws that allow process descriptions to be manipulated and analyzed, and permit formal reasoning about equivalences and observation congruence among processes. Accordingly, process algebra provides a perfect method for system definition.Channel-based infinite-queue SBC process algebra (C-I-SBC-PA) is one of the six specialized SBC process algebras. In this book, we use C-I-SBC-PA to achieve the robust systems definition of a system. To see is to believe. Therefore, many examples are presented to help the reader fully understand the use of C-I-SBC-PA.

Author Information

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.
