================================================================================ P9511 J.A. Bergstra, J.A. Hillebrand, and A. Ponse "Grid protocols based on synchronous communications: specification and correctness" We provide a short notation for processes with parallel inputs and outputs. With this specification format, a certain class of networks, comprising synchronous grid protocols, can be easily specified and analyzed. We illustrate this by an example on the approximation of a one-dimensional wave equation.
