This paper presents a transformational approach to the design of distributed systems where environment and concurrently running components communicate via synchronous message passing along directed channels. System specifications that combine trace-based with state-based reasoning are gradually modified by application of transfromation rules until Occam-like programs are achieved finally. We consider interactive and automatic aspects of such a design process and illustrate our approach by sketching the development of a shared register implementation.
