In his paper Communicating sequential processes', C.A.R. Hoare introduced a concept for the design of concurrent systems. His proposal was intended as a notation and little consideration was given by Hoare to subsequent implementation. Much discussion has taken place concerning associated problems, and recommendations for enhancement have been put forward.
This paper surveys the languages which have resulted from his proposal and discusses three of these languages.
