When distributed systems first appeared, they were programmed in traditional sequential
languages, usually with the addition of a few library procedures for sending and receiving …

This paper aims at discussing and classifying the various ways in which the object paradigm
is used in concurrent and distributed contexts. We distinguish among the library approach …

We present an actor language which is an extension of a simple functional language, and
provide an operational semantics for this extension. Actor configurations represent open …

A traditional philosophical controversy between representing general concepts as abstract
sets or classes and representing concepts as concrete prototypes is reflected in a …

It has been pointed out that inheritance and synchronization constraints in concurrent object
systems often conflict with each other, resulting in inheritance anomaly where re-definitions …

TOWARD A METHOD OF OBJECT-ORIENTED CONCURRENT PROGRAMMING hile there
have been many attempts to provide objectoriented languages with a model of concurrency …

Since the late 1960s, program language designers have been trying to develop approaches
to programming computers that succeed with novices. None has gained widespread …

The object-oriented paradigm has gained popularity in various guises not only in
programming languages, but in user interfaces, operating systems, databases, and other …

SYSTEMATIC CONCURRENT OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING udging by the looks of
the two parties, the marriage between concurrent computation and object-oriented …

Concurrency in object-oriented languages is still waiting for a satisfactory solution. For many
application areas, standard mechanisms like threads and locks are too low level and have …
