  abstract= "Scriptic is an expression based extension to the Java
     programming language, targeted at user interfaces,
     simulations and parallel computing on shared memory systems.
     The extras are mainly founded on the theory of Process
     Algebra: constructs for non-deterministic choice,
     parallelism and communica-tion. By default, these parallel
     constructs have interleaving seman-tics, rather than
     multi-threading or forking. Specific Java code fragments may
     run in their own threads or handle events from the windowing
     system. This makes interactive applications such as arcade
     games execute as fast as corresponding plain Java versions.
     GUI components such as buttons and menu items are enabled
     and disabled when applicable, without additional
     programming. This paper covers an example application in
     Scriptic, an overview of the language constructs, the
     implementation, originality, previous work and current work."
