Abstract
Many existing synchronous message-passing systems support
choice: engaging in one event XOR another. This paper introduces the AND operator that allows a process to engage in multiple
events together (one AND one more AND another; all conjoined),
engaging in each event only if it can atomically engage in all the
conjoined events. We demonstrate using several examples that this
operator supports new, more ?exible models of programming. We
show that the AND operator allows the behaviour of processes to
be expressed in local rules rather than system-wide constructs. We
give an optimised implementation of the AND operator and explore
the performance effect on standard communications of supporting
this new operator.
