Cantor(ID:1303/can008)

alternate simple view

presumably from the Cantor sets

Object-oriented language with fine-grained concurrency based on graphs

Athas, Caltech 1987.

Elegqant model for distributed programming, but in some circumstances fiendishly difficult to match circumstances to graphs suitable for distribution
