Abstract

This paper presents a model for a network of communicating processes. We extend well known ideas in sequential programming such as procedures, parameter passing and binding, and recursion to distributed programs. We stress the notion of implementation-hiding, i.e. the invoker of a process or procedure has no knowledge of the implementation of the invoked computation.
