Abstract

A new language for multicomputer systems programming is described. Processes in the language communicate by sending messages over communication channels called links. Links may be created, manipulated, and destroyed dynamically to provide complete run-time control over the interconnections among processes. Messages may be received explicitly or may trigger the execution of entry procedures. A control-flow mechanism similar to coroutines simplifies the ordering of entry procedures.
