Abstract

We compare four paradigms that have recently been the subject of considerable attention: mobile agents, distributed shared memory (DSM), coordination paradigms, and self-migrating threads. We place these paradigms in a common framework consisting of three layers--the computational model, its implementation on a physical architecture, and the interface to the system's environment--to demonstrate that self-migrating threads subsume the other three paradigms in terms of their capabilities to organize and coordinate computation, map the concurrent activities onto a multicomputer architecture, and provide an interface for interaction with their environments on the underlying host computers.
