Does anybody have any refences to work about the Parellel object oriented language POOL-T, especially the formal semantics it is said to have. Other information about POOL-T is also appreciated, like email addresses to the persons at PHILIPS/Holland involved in POOL. Short summary of what I know. POOL-T is an object-oriented parallel language where every object is a process. The objects have a body and show explicitly when they are ready to accept messages (they also say which messages they want to accept). There is (currently) no inheritance in the language. It is meant to run on DOOM (distributed object oriented machine). Both the language and the machine is made by PHILIPS in holland in esprit project 415. A prototype of the machine is(will soon be?) running on a network of 100 MC68020, each with own memory. That information was taken from an article by Pierre America (POOL-T - A Parellel Object-Oriented Language) in the book Object-Oriented Concurrent Programming (Yonezawa,Tokoro; MIT Press 1987) and a leaflet describing Esprit project 415. mikael -- Mikael Eriksson (Email: mikael@sm.luth.se) ......... You are in error. 2+2=5 Thank you for your cooperation. The Computer.
