seem to enter the newsfeed)


Does anybody have any refences to work about the
Parellel object oriented language POOL-T, especially
the formal semantics it is said to have. 

Other information about POOL-T is also appreciated, like
email addresses to the persons at PHILIPS/Holland involved
in POOL.

Short summary of what I know. POOL-T is an object-oriented
parallel language where every object is a process. The
objects have a body and show explicitly when they are
ready to accept messages (they also say which messages
they want to accept). There is (currently) no inheritance
in the language. It is meant to run on DOOM (distributed
object oriented machine). Both the language and the machine
is made by PHILIPS in holland in esprit project 415. A prototype
of the machine is(will soon be?) running on a network of 100
MC68020, each with own memory. 
That information was taken from an article by Pierre
America (POOL-T - A Parellel Object-Oriented Language) in the
book Object-Oriented Concurrent Programming (Yonezawa,Tokoro;
MIT Press 1987) and a leaflet describing Esprit project 415.
