Abstract

With the growing availability of heterogeneous networks of computing systems, multidisciplinary applications are becoming increasingly tractable. Such applications combine a number of programs representing different "disciplines" into a coherent, integrated system of interacting processes. The authors survey MDA characteristics and derive a corresponding set of language requirements, focusing on modular system design and multilevel parallelism. After evaluating the MDA compatibility of several languages and paradigms, they present Opus, the language they designed to support MDA requirements.
