ISBN: 981024049X ISBN-13: 9789810240493 Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company OUR PRICE: $34.20 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: September 1999 Annotation: This book aims to show how programming will be changed by the concepts of parallel systems and how these concepts relate to the ideas of functions and objects. To demonstrate the kind of programming that can be done on these systems, the research language Balinda K is used. The book will also enhance the reader's grasp of the concepts of concurrency and modular programming, reviewing these from the perspectives of application programming in a parallel language. The book should interest graduate and senior undergraduate students of computer science and computer engineering, and IT professionals working in a multiprocesing or distributed computing environment. |

| Publisher Description: 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. |
