Concurrent CLU 

alternate simple view
Country: United States
Designed 1983
Published: 1983
Sammet category: Multi-purpose

LCS, MIT. A successor to CLU. Supports distributed programming through guardians (like monitors, but can be dynamically created) and atomic actions (indivisible activity). cobegin/coend.
