Abstract:A distributed programming language normally incorporates one mechanism by which processes communicate with each other. This mechanism can be used to transfer information or to synchronize the flow of control in the program. Different communication mechanisms have been proposed for different languages.

Operationally, this framework is a communication scheduler : fo… Show more
