The Edinburgh Concurrency Workbench (CWB) The Edinburgh Concurrency Workbench (CWB) is an automated tool which caters for the manipulation and analysis of concurrent systems. In particular, the CWB allows for various equivalence, preorder and model checking using a variety of different process semantics. With the Workbench it is possible to: define behaviours given either in the syntax of the Temporal CCS (TCCS) or SCCS, and perform various analyses on these behaviours, such as analysing the state space of a given process, or checking various semantic equivalences and preorders; define propositions in a powerful modal logic and to check whether a given process satisfies a specification formulated in this logic; derive automatically logical formulae which distinguish nonequivalent processes; interactively simulate the behaviour of an agent, thus guiding it through its state space in a controlled fashion.
