Abstract In this article we extend the framework of execution of concurrent functions on different
abstract levels from previous work with communication between the concurrent
functions. We classify the communications and identify problems that can occur with
these communications. We present solutions for the problems based on encapsulation
and abstraction to obtain correct behaviours. The result is that communication on a low
level of abstraction in the form of shared memory and message passing is dealt with on
an higher level of abstraction.
