Abstract

Messages are increasingly being used for interprocess communication. The problem of introducing messages into typed languages is considered, and a solution in terms of typed message-channels is presented. Our particular treatment permits dynamic connexions, including secure linking of separately-compiled programmes, and also features nondeterminacy, thereby enabling automatic resource-scheduling without monitors. Implementation considerations are discussed, and a comparison with the work of other authors is given.
