Abstract

This paper describes the software package DPLab which implements an integrated GUI environment for developing distributed programs. The environment includes a text editor, a compiler, and a runtime system that establishes communications between networked computers and provides primitives for message passing between the computers. The source language is Pascal extended with these primitives and with constructs for concurrent programming. The package is implemented in Java and Swing for portability.
