Action systems provide a method to program distributed systems that emphasizes the overall behavior of the system. System behavior is described in terms of the possible interactions (actions) that the processes can engage in, rather than in terms of the sequential code that the processes execute. The actions provide a symmetric communication mechanism that permits an arbitrary number of processes to be synchronized by a common handshake. This is a generalization of the usual approach, employed… CONTINUE READING
