abstract= "In this paper we examine an extension to Hoare's
Communicating Sequential Processes model called higher-order
concurrency, proposed by Reppy. In this extension,
communication algorithms (or events) are first-class objects
and can be created and manipulated dynamically. In addition,
threads are automatically garbage collected and channels are
first-class, that is, they can be passed over other
channels. We describe the design of a Java package that
implements the main features of higher-order concurrency,
with similar ease-of-use to Reppy's Concurrent ML system.
Our implementation can be easily extended to use a
distributed system, which is a major limitation with
Concurrent ML. We also hope to bring the idea of
higher-order concurrency to a wider audience, since it is
extremely powerful and flexible, but currently only well
known to the programming-languages community."
