1999 International Symposium on Parallel Architectures, Algorithms and Networks (ISPAN '99) Java4P: Java with High-Level Concurrency Constructs Fremantle, Australia June 23-June 25 ISBN: 0-7695-0231-8
While Java has provided a mechanism for concurrent programming implemented as language constructs, it is too rudimentary for most programmers and has certain limitations that make programs unnecessarily complex and prevent fine-grained concurrency.We have implemented Java4P, an extension of the Java language, that offers a simpler concurrency model and overcomes Java's limitations. Threads are no longer associated with thread objects, allowing concurrency at any level of granularity. Thread creation is made implicit and synchronisation is achieved through method guards. Synchronisation specification is separated from the functional specification to provide a parallel programming model closer to sequential programming.
