MOD--A Language for Distributed Programming.

Abstract

Distributed programming is characterized by high communications costs and the absence of shared variables and procedures as synchronization tools. MOD is a high-level language system which attempts to address these problems by creating an environment conductive to efficient and reliable network software construction. The concept of a processor module is introduced as well as a methodology for distributed data abstraction and process communication. In addition, a VHLN (virtual high-level language network) is proposed for system development. (Author)
