Despite many years of research and development, parallel programming remains a difficult and specialized task. A simple but general model for parallel processing is still lacking.

This book proposes a model that adds parallelism to functions and objects, allowing simple specification of both parallel execution and inter-process communication. Many examples of applying parallel programming are given.

• Parallel Programming: The Basic Constructs
• Functional Programming
• Programming with Parallel Functions and Tuples
• Objects in BaLinda K
• Active Objects
• Application Case Studies — Stock Trading System and Salishan Problems
• Reviewing the Progress
