Abstract

In a previous paper from our research group we showed a means of concurrency control which was consistent with the requirement of both actor-based concurrency and inheritance. This synchronization method, called behavior abstractions, was expressed in terms of the ACT++ prototype. Limitations on the behavior abstraction concept have been noted and alternatives proposed by others. We present in this paper an extension to the behavior abstraction concept which deals with its observed limitations. This extension is called behavior sets.
