Object-oriented Parallel Programming with Objective Linda Object-oriented Parallel Programming with Objective Linda

In this paper we present Objective Linda, a coordination model in which object-orientation is combined with uncoupled, generative communication in order to enable object-oriented parallel programming in networked computing resources. Objective Linda provides suitable abstractions for structuring large software systems, supports interoper-ability between diierent programming languages and parallel architectures and simpliies the development of parallel applications. Its use is illustrated by presenting programming examples, a prototype implementation is described, and measurements for evaluating the implementation eeciency and the performance of parallel applications are presented.
