Abstract
A denotational semantics of Hoare's Communicating Sequential Programs is given based on a mathematical model of communicating processes as functions mapping for every initial state a stream of offers onto a set of streams of reactions plus a final state, which is defined only if the program terminates properly. The main purpose of this definition is found in serving as a reference for specification and verification methods.
