ABSTRACT:
A multi-processor, multi-tasking virtual machine comprises processes, messages, and contexts. Processes communicate only through messages. Processes may be grouped into contexts of related processes. Communication may be made between processes in different or related contexts or at the same context level.
According to one message transmission mode, a message may be sent to each process with a given name within one context, thus ensuring that all processes with the same name at the same context level can be communicated with individually without knowing how many there are or where they are located.
