Abstract

Geometrical methods in concurrency theory (and in distributed systems theory) have appeared recently for modelling and analyzing the behaviour of systems and also for solving computability and complexity issues. We identify some of the main directions of research, and survey some of the major ideas on which all this is based (some of which are now more than thirty years old).
