I have some references below about the original LGDF (aka LGDF1) and
the follow-on, LGDF2 (aka F-Nets).  The most recent, full explanation
of LGDF1 would probably be that in the Characteristics of Parallel
Algorithms book.  I may have missed some of the more recent articles
(I think one was published in a VAPP conference in 1991 or so).  You
can also find my 1991 dissertation on F-Nets (Babb was thesis
advisor) using anonymous ftp at

    ftp.netcom.com       pub/di/dinucci/thesis.ps.Z
