The COIN model for concurrent computation and its implementation

Abstract COIN is a model for object-oriented programming with special emphasis on concurrent and distributed systems. It was developed to integrate design, implementation, and visualization of distributed applications. The distinguishing characteristics of COIN are: a) hierarchial object structures; b) multiple explicit object interfaces; c) explicit and dynamic binding of interface operations to operation implementations; d) generation of structures consisting of several objects and their interconnections as an atomic action. The paper gives an overview of the COIN model and its implementation in the COIN/L programming language.
