Distributed and parallel systems engineering in MANIFOLD

摘要

A rather recent approach in programming parallel and distributed system is that of coordina- tion models and languages. Coordination programming enjoys a number of advantages such as the ability to express different software architectures and abstract interaction protocols, supporting multilinguality, reusability and programming-in-the-large, etc. However, most of the proposed models and languages are data-driven in the sense that changes in the behaviour of the formalism are triggered by detecting the presence and examining the nature of data values.
