Abstract

Research in object based concurrency has exposed a novel and difficult garbage collection problem. The novelty and the difficulty of the problem arise for the same reason - the unit of reclamation is an entity that possesses a thread of control. Such objects, termed active objects or concurrent objects, are explored in our work through the actor model of concurrency [Agha 1986].
