Multitier programming deals with developing the components that pertain to different tiers in
the system (eg, client and server), mixing them in the same compilation unit. In this …

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 …

Applications running on the Internet, or on limited-resource devices, need to be able to
adapt to changes in their execution environment at run-time. Current languages and …

The Practical Handbook of Internet Computing analyzes a broad array of technologies and
concerns related to the Internet, including corporate intranets. Fresh and insightful articles by …

We discuss several issues related to the integration of inheritance and concurrency in an
object-oriented language to support fine-grain parallel algorithms. We present a reflective …

The Actor Model is a message passing concurrency model that was originally proposed by
Hewitt et al. in 1973. It is now 43 years later and since then researchers have explored a …

During the last decade object‐oriented programming has grown from marginal influence into
widespread acceptance. During the same period, progress in hardware and networking has …

An introduction to fundamental theories of concurrent computation and associated
programming languages for developing distributed and mobile computing systems. Starting …

Actors are a model of concurrent objects which unify synchronization and data abstraction
boundaries. Because they hide details of parallel execution and present an abstract view of …

The development of Simula by Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard introduced a number of
important programming language concepts–object which supports modularity in …
