ProCoS I project[]
This document contains information relevant to the ESPRIT ProCoS I project (no. 3104, 1989–1992) on Provably Correct Systems that was the forerunner of the ProCoS II project. The project based its investigations around the occam and transputer paradigm and ran from 1989 for 2½ years. A summary of the project plans was published at the start of the project:
