I have a CTCS99 paper ``On the semantics of message passing processes'' at
http://theory.doc.ic.ac.uk/~le which may be relevant. As the title
suggests, it looks at categorical semantics for a CSP-like language with
assignment. It is related to the work mentioned by Robin and Dusko. Also,
the conclusions of my thesis discusses representing process networks as
diagrams in a category of processes. This might be related to your comment
above.
