In concurrent and distributed systems, processes can complete tasks
together by playing their parts in a joint plan. The plan, or
protocol, can be written as a choreography: a formal description of
overall behaviour that processes should collaborate to implement, like
authenticating a user or purchasing an item online. Formality brings
clarity, but not only that. Choreographies can contribute to important
safety and liveness properties. This book is an ideal introduction to
theory of choreographies for students, researchers, and professionals
in computer science and applied mathematics. It covers languages for
writing choreographies and their semantics, and principles for
implementing choreographies correctly. The text treats the study of
choreographies as a discipline in its own right, following a
systematic approach that starts from simple foundations and proceeds
to more advanced features in incremental steps. Each chapter includes
examples and exercises aimed at helping with understanding the theory
and its relation to practice.
