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.
