I would suggest reading the following paper: "Communicating Sequential Processes" by C.A.R Hoare in Communications of The ACM, August 1978 OCCAM's ipc mechanism is built upon, and virtually identical to CSP, as described in the classic paper by Hoare. Basically it's just synchronous communication over a channel, meaning that communication will happen when both the sending and the receiving processes are ready, and that either party waits if the other is not ready.
