ing Interaction Patterns: A Programming Paradigm for Open Distributed Systems Gul A. Agha Open Systems Laboratory Department of Computer Science, 1304 W. Springfield Avenue, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801, USA, Email: agha@cs.uiuc.edu, Web: http://www-osl.cs.uiuc.edu To Appear: Formal Methods for Open Object-based Distributed Systems IFIP Transactions, E. Najm and J.-B. Stefani, Editors Chapman & Hall, 1997 Abstract This paper discusses mechanisms addressing the complexity of building and maintaining Open Distributed Systems. It is argued that a new programming paradigm based on modular specification of interaction patterns is required to address the complexity of such systems. Our research is based on developing abstraction mechanisms to simplify the task of developing and maintaining open systems. We define actors as a model of concurrency for open systems. We then review a number of programming abstractions that are useful in modular specification an...
