Abstract
Concurrency theory is in an exciting period of confusion. Confusion is always exciting because it heralds the coming of new ideas and deeper understanding. There are several ingredients in the cauldron: some new, some not so new. The old ingredients are process algebra, bisimulation and other equivalences and modal logics. The not-so-old ingredients are probability, mobility and real-time, and the new ingredients are knowledge, games and information theory.
