parallel programming on distributed systems

Henri E. Bal, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (Free University of Amsterdam), 1986.

Language for parallel programming on distributed systems, based on the shared data-object model. This model is a simple and portable form of object-based distributed shared memory.

Similar to Modula-2, but with support for distributed programming using shared data objects, like Linda. A 'graph' data type removes the need for pointers.
