Abstract
The introduction of concurrency complicates the already difficult task of large-scale programming. Concurrent object-oriented languages provide a mechanism, encapsulation, for managing the increased complexity of large-scale concurrent programs, thereby reducing the difficulty of large scale concurrent programming. In particular, fine-grained object-oriented approaches provide modularity through encapsulation while exposing large degrees of concurrency. Though fine-grained concurrent object-oriented languages are attractive from a programming perspective, they have historically suffered from poor efficiency. The goal of the Concert project is to develop portable, efficient implementations of finegrained concurrent object-oriented languages. Our approach incorporates careful program analysis and information management at every stage from the compiler to the runtime system. In this document, we outline the basic elements of the Concert approach. In particular, we discuss progr...
