Hi. I'm looking for references, and peoples experiences in parallel languages. If anyone has good references for any of the following, or any other fairly readily avialable parallel languages, or has had experience with them and could give me any any comments they might have, it would be much appreciated. Linda, Strand, GeneSys, Occam, Ada... E-mail or followups equally acceptable. I will post a summary to the net if anyone asks me to (and if I get any replies...) If it helps, the application I will (eventually) be using the chosen language(s) for is to implement a real-time pattern-recognition system using artificial neural network algortihms. Thanks, -Duncan -- Duncan Thomson Signal Processing Division Department Of Electric and Electronic Engineering University of Strathclyde 204 George Street Glasgow G1 1XW UK

Hi! A summary of e-mail replies to my question on parallel languages. Henri Bal (bal@cs.vu.nl) sent a list of several papers he has written or co-written. The first was also recommended by someone else.
