Object-Based Concurrent Computing

The ECOOP '91 Workshop on Object-Based Concurrent Computing
was organized toprovide a forum on concurrent, distributed
and open-ended computing. The emphasis was on conceptual,
theoretical and formal aspects, as well as practical aspects
and sound experience, since such a viewpoint was deemed
indispensible to investigate and establish a basis for
future development.
This volume contains 12 papers selected from 25 presented at
the workshop, together with a paper by J.A. Goguen, who was
an invited speaker at the workshop. The papers are
classified into four categories:
Formal methods (1): three papers are concerned with the
formal semantics of concurrent objects based on process
calculi.
Formal methods (2): four papers are concerned with various
formal approaches to the semantics of concurrent programs.
Concurrent programming: three papers.
Models: three papers areconcerned with models for
concurrent systems.
