Concurrency is concerned with the fundamental aspects of systems of multiple,
simultaneously active computing agents that interact with one another. This notion is …

We believe that the second alternative is better. We also believe that the distinction between
the “integration” and the “separation” approach goes well beyond the (admittedly important) …

The transition from sequential to parallel computation is an area of critical concern in today's
computer technology, particularly in architecture, programming languages, systems, and …

What I call concurrency has gone by many names, including parallel computing, concurrent
programming, and multiprogramming. I regard distributed computing to be part of the more …

Abstracts A new class of models, formalisms, and mechanisms has recently evolved for
describing concurrent and distributed computations based on the concept of “CO …

Early concurrent languages supported interactions through shared variables. Languages
based on message passing were also a very early idea that gained popularity as soon as …

We argue that the ability to model shared objects with changing local states, dynamic
reconfigurability, and inherent parallelism are desirable properties of any model of …

A large program such as an operating system, a compiler, or a realtime control program is a
precise representation of a system composed of many interacting parts or modules. Due to …

Concurrent systems are generally understood in terms of behavioral notions. Models for
Concurrency analyzes the subject in terms of events and their temporal relationship rather …

Actors have become widespread in programming languages and programming frameworks
focused on parallel and distributed computing. While actors provide a more disciplined …
