Description
Summary:<p>The author previously defined CSP-like operational semantics whose main restrictions were the automatic promotion of most τ actions, no cloning of running processes, and no negative premises in operational semantic rules. He showed that every operator with such an operational semantics can be translated into CSP and therefore has a semantics in every model of CSP. In this paper we demonstrate that a similar result holds for CSP extended by the priority operator described in Chapter 20 of "Understanding concurrent systems" (Springer 2010), with the restriction on negative premises removed.</p>
