In a time of multiprocessor machines, message switching networks and process control
programming tasks, the foundations of programming distributed systems are among the …

I am very grateful to my adviser Dr. David C. Evans who has directed my research and who
continually provided me with encouragement. He listened critically to my various …

Distributed Programming: Theory and Practice presents a practical and rigorous method to
develop distributed programs that correctly implement their specifications. The method also …

This paper presents a survey of recent research in programming distributed systems, with
the emphasis on new programming languages specifically designed for this purpose. Short …

Today's computer systems are in general based on the von Neumann type architecture.
However, there also exist alternative architectures, for example dataflow systems and (quasi …

In dataflow architectures, each dataflow operation is typically executed on a single physical
node. We are concerned with distributed data-intensive systems, in which each base (ie …

All data flow models describe computation in terms of locally controlled events; each event is
the “firing” of an “actor”. There is no notion of a single point or locus of control—nothing …

Processes are building blocks for the modeling of environments in which parallel and
distributed processing occurs. In parallel programming they play the role of standard units …
