Formal communication semantics of SystemC/sup FL/

In this paper, we define a formal communication semantics for SystemC/sup FL/ that deals with concurrency and interaction. The communication semantics of SystemC/sup FL/ is formally defined in a standard structured operational semantics (SOS) style. The correctness of the proposed communication semantics of SystemC/sup FL/ is also validated. A case study (RPC protocol with refinement) is given to illustrate the use of the newly developed communication semantics of SystemC/sup FL/.
