Orca: A Language For Distributed Programming
We present a simple model of shared data-objects, which extends the abstract data type model to support distributed programming.

| Summary: | We present a simple model of shared data-objects, which extends the abstract data type model to support distributed programming. Our model essentially provides shared address space semantics, rather than message passing semantics, without requiring physical shared memory to be present in the target system. We also propose a new programming language, Orca, based on shared dataobjects. A compiler and three different run time systems for Orca exist, which have been in use for over a year now. |
