Abstract
We present an extensive, annotated bibliography of the abstract machines de signed for each of the main programming paradigms (imperative, object orien ted, functional, logic and concurrent). We conclude that whilst a large num ber of efficient abstract machines have been designed for particular langua ge implementations, relatively little work has been done to design abstract machines in a systematic fashion.
