Research Directions In Concurrent Object-oriented Programming (computer Systems Series)

This collection of original research provides a comprehensive survey of developments at the leading edge of concurrent object-oriented programming. It documents progress - from general concepts to specific descriptions - in programming language design, semantic tools, systems, architectures, and applications. Chapters are written at a tutorial level and are accessible to a wide audience, including researchers, programmers, and technical managers. The problem of designing systems for concurrent programming has become an increasingly important area of research in computer science with a concomitant increase in the popularity of object-based programming. Because parallelism is a natural consequence of the use of objects, the development of systems for concurrent object-oriented programming is providing important software support for a new generation of concurrent computers. Gul Agha is Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Peter Wegner is Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Brown University. Akinori Yonezawa is Professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology.
