Abstract

In this paper, we argue that interacting processes (IP) with multiparty interactions are an ideal model for parallel programming. The IP model with multiparty interactions was originally proposed by N. Francez and I. R. Forman [1] for distributed programming of reactive applications. We analyze the IP model and provide the new insights into it from the parallel programming perspective. We show through parallel program examples in IP that the suitability of the IP model for parallel programming lies in its programmability, high degree of parallelism and support for modular programming. We believe that IP is a good candidate for the mainstream programming model for the both parallel and distributed computing in the future.
