I am interested in establishing a definitive list of considerations for evaluating "communications" in parallel systems. It seems to me that "protocol" is the genus and implementations are the species. I would like to know if there have been definitive papers/books which completely treat the issue of what it takes (i.e., primitive objects, functions) to establish a protocol, the logical principles involved (i.e., no deadlock), and performance implications/comparisons.
