An imperative, strongly typed process-oriented language for complex distributed systems. A follow-on effort to NIL[2]. Threads, relational tables, typestate checking, capability-based access, dynamic configuration. Hermes is a secure, very high-level language for programming distributed and multi-application systems. To the Hermes programmer, a system looks like a collection of active modules (processes), each containing a sequential program, and data. The data consists of computational data (scalars, tuples, and sets),input ports, and output ports. All data is strongly typed. Programs interact by making calls on output ports, receiving calls on input ports, and returning calls. Programs can dynamically create new processes and control the bindings of output ports to input ports. Programmers do not explicitly see the physical representation of data or the location of processes. Therefore the programmer is shielded from the details of data formats, operating system interfaces, and communications protocols. The Hermes process paradigm subsumes all the advantages of "object-based" approaches to modularity and information hiding. Hermes incorporates a secure, language-based approach to creating multi-applications --- dynamically evolving systems containing multiple active, interacting applications. Hermes was developed in the Distributed Systems Software Technology group at the IBM T.J.
