Abstract

The StarMod language is designed to provide its users with abstractions for distributed computations. The language is based on Wirth's definition of a ''module'' as impiemented in Modula. The paper discusses abstraction mechanisms for distributed access control and scheduling: in addition, several examples are used to illustrate these concepts.
