   "A Formal Approach to a New Delay-Insensitive Communication Protocol"

We wish to understand the operation of a databus when no assumptions are
made about transmission delays to and from the bus.  This leads to the
introdcution of an elementary communication primitive that allows only very
limited operations.  Yet, we show that fairly complicated concurrency
problems can be solved in an elegant way.
