Abstract
In this paper the main approaches to constructing concurrent programs will be presented and compared. As a basis for comparison. two examples of systems incorporating concurrent operations have been chosen. and programs for these examples will be presented using the different approaches to concurrent programming. Of particular interest are the semantic issues in language design. i.e. how the computation is expressed. rather than the detailed syntax of the languages. Hence. in the interest of uniformity. the example programs will be written in PASCAL [22] modified to include the necessary constructs. As will be seen. the different approaches to concurrent programming differ greatly in their expressive power. clarity of expression. and ease and efficiency of implementation.
