Literature has tracked the growth of process algebra since CCS (Calculus of Communicating Systems) was formulated till RCCS (Calculus for reversible concurrent systems), in order to reflect the changes in computing environment and comparison has been sketched on the basis of this. A relationship between concurrency and communication has been explored in this literature. Literature presents some analytical reasoning on this matter. In this paper, present situation and current trends in process algebra is also considered and makes a reason why some models are being preferred for extensions by researchers over others. Some challenges for the future work are also mentioned in this literature. {\^A}{\copyright} 2012 IEEE.}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84867843676&doi=10.1109\%2fICCISci.2012.6297146&partnerID=40&md5=28d05590ac12c28944f8e5df048bcafb}, keywords = {Analytical reasoning; Calculus of communicating systems; Computing environments; Concurrency theory; Concurrent systems; Current trends; Distributed systems; In-process; Observational equivalences; Parallel and distributed systems; Present situation; Probabilistic systems; Process algebras, Calculations; Computer systems; Information science; Model checking; Technology, Algebra} }
