Abstract

The problem of providing communication with APL programs was approached by formulating systems as collections of autonomous processors communicating on interfaces consisting of shared variables. This paper discusses the formulation of a theoretical APL system and cites experience with a prototype APL shared variable system which both uses and provides shared variable interfaces.
