Abstract

The author discusses the close relationship between data and operations and suggests that a compiler should be able to check that data structures are accessed by meaningful procedures only. This idea leads to the introduction of shared classes--a programming notation for the monitor concept. The notation is illustrated by a message buffer for concurrent processes.
