How can parallel composition of process be encoded in Elixir ?

I am not sure I understand your question. What do you mean by “encode” and “parallel composition”? A bit more context would be useful here.

Can you please explain what you are asking about, instead of posting a link to a link to link to a pdf that I have to read completely?

The parallel composition is made of of a process P concurrently being processed to another process G. However the process are defined explicitly in the link provided in the previous thread.

p = spawn(fn … end)
g = spawn(fn … end)
send(g, p)

Depending on your exact communication needs, you might want to wrap p in a tupple to “tag” it before sending.

Would is happening when sending send (g,p) please ? Sorry but I am new to Elixir.

spawn will return the PID of the spawned process, send/2 sends the term it gets as second argument to the process identified by the first argument.

send/2 does not understand via-tuples though, only PIDs and atoms.

Thanks a lot.

One suggestion: you might get better help by continuing the original thread instead of opening multiple ones. That way, people would immediately have the context of the previous discussion at hand.

Some people (me for sure) might not be 100% aware of your specific definition of the terms you are using. It might be because some of them are used with different meanings in different contexts like academia and industry (e.g. “process” as an abstract unit of computation, vs. OS process, vs. Erlang process or “encoding” as serialization vs. encoding in formal types).

Thank you all for your help and sorry again for mixing up thing.
