Summary

Communication in the languages presented so far is synchronous: a sending action blocks the sender until it can interact with a compatible receiving action at the intended receiver. In this chapter, we consider an alternative semantics for interactions: asynchronous communication. Asynchronous communication allows for a sending action to be executed without waiting for the receiver to be ready by storing the sent message in a message queue that the intended receiver can later read.
