SEQUENTIAL EQUIVALENTS OF PARALLEL PROCESSES,

Abstract

This paper introduces the problem of finding a sequential process equivalent to a system of interacting discrete parallel processes. Under the assumption that the sequential process is to be composed exclusively of executions of the individual 'parallel' processes in a predetermined sequence, a method of deriving optimal sequential processes is presented. Applications to the design of simulation systems and picture processing programs are discussed. Examples are taken from logic design and picture processing. (Author)
