Toward a method of object-oriented concurrent programming

While there have been many attempts to provide object-oriented languages with a model of concurrency, few have dealt with reusability and methodology. Here we propose a concurrent model that takes into account such important concerns. Concept unifications are a necessity, and underlie the need to make object-oriented programming adaptable to concurrency. The model characteristics, especially reusability, permit definition of a concurrent object-oriented design method. The model, which makes extensive use of object-oriented techniques such as inheritance and polymorphism, is presented followed by development of the concurrent programming method
