A Keynote Address Concurrent Programming,

Abstract

This paper summarizes the first twenty years of concurrent programming and identifies the major development phases as an initial hardware challenge followed by a software crisis, a conceptual innovation, and language development which in turn led to formal understanding and hardware refinement. The paper draws a parallel between this development and the present challenge of distributed computing. (Author)
