We then apply this process calculus to reason on hierarchical network structure and provide examples on its expressive power.

متن کاملElite science and the BBC: a 1950s contest of ownership.
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the elite world of institutional British science attempted to take control of the BBC's management of science broadcasting.
