Abstract
With the increasing availability of heterogeneous networks, the coordination of distributed services, the communication between different applications, and the development of distributed programs is becoming more and more important. In previous work we proposed coordination extensions for existing sequential programming languages like Prolog and C, leading to Prolog&Co 1 (Prolog plus Coordination) and C&Co (C plus Coordination). The coordination extensions provide fine and coarse grained parallelism, software fault tolerance through function replication, and a high-level, reliable communication via communication objects. The semantics of the base language are not destroyed but only slightly expanded by introducing a few new language constructs. The realization of these new coordination languages employs a coordination kernel running in the background and handling all requests concerning communication with other sites. So far, we have implemented the kernel on single proces...
