We propose a formalism for modelling concurrent systems and for supporting stepwise refinement of
concurrent systems. Our formalism allows one to describe the possible behaviours of a concurrent system
in an operational manner, and to select from the operational description the desired behaviours using a
logical approach. We discuss how our formalism can be used for incremental stepwise development
where a high-level specification consisting of little operational aspect and largely logical assertions, is
refined gradually into a low-lever specification consisting of mainly operational description and few or
no logical dictations. We illustrate this refinement methodology with a simplified version of Lamport’s
Bakery algorithm.
