Dynamic task communication for concurrent processing in distributed systems

This paper presents a formal methodology and a set of design and programmin g tools for the development of concurrently communicating systems that exec ute in distributed computing environments. In order to solve the complex pr oblems of synchronization and communication between dynamically distributed tasks, the distributed programming system uses an internal process-algebra -based mechanism, and provides an algebra term generator that allows the us er to define the task architecture through a simple graphical interface. An example of the design process of a heterogeneous distributed system illust rates the main phases of creating and executing a concurrent task system, a s well as the architecture of the programming environment presented in the paper.
