8.Synchronous message passing (Rendezvous)
•In synchronous message passing, the components are processes, and processes communicate in atomic, instantaneous actions called rendezvous.
•Rendezvous models are particularly well-matched to applications where resource sharing is a key element, such as client-server database models and multitasking or multiplexing of hardware resources.
•CSP is a variant of Synchronous message passing .
