Details about UIProcess x WebProcess you can find here:
http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebKit2

The communication between these processes is done using the CoreIPC:
Source/WebKit2/Platform/CoreIPC

It has a code generator that generates that parses *.messages.in files
and generate code for making the messaging passing more friendly.
