Yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking of. Coordination languages are protocols that enable the coordination of solutions to some types of distributed problems. Some are very specific, while others are very generic. Linda is the latter, as is HTTP. FTP and TCP would be an example of the former. IMAP and NNTP are somewhere in the middle. .. just to give some examples. > Wouldn't you need messages and using messages to "actuate" > processing > in a distributed world, irrespective of how you define the behavior > semantics? > </sd> Hmm, not exactly sure what you mean by that. Linda works by sending and receiving messages. Given Mike's response, I'm happy to drop this thread if you like.
