Abstract
We introduce two institutions for the process algebra CSP, one for the traces model, and one for the stable failures model. The construction is generic and should be easily instantiated with further models. As a consequence, we can use structured specification constructs like renaming, hiding and parameterisation (that have been introduced over an arbitrary institution) also for CSP. With a small example we demonstrate that structuring indeed makes sense for CSP.
