  • Design Issues in Parallel Architecture for Artificial Intelligence 

    Unknown author (1983-11-01)
    Development of highly intelligent computers requires a conceptual foundation that will overcome the limitations of the von Neumann architecture. Architectures for such a foundation should meet the following design ...

  • Experience with Acore: Implementing GHC with Actors 

    Unknown author (1990-08-01)
    This paper presents a concurrent interpreter for a general-purpose concurrent logic programming language, Guarded Horn Clauses (GHC). Unlike typical implementations of GHC in logic programming languages, the interpreter ...

    The object oriented programming style used in the Smalltalk and Actor languages is available in Lisp Machine Lisp, and used by the Lisp Machine software system. It is used to perform generic operations on objects. Part ...

  • Protection and Synchronization in Actor Systems 

    Unknown author (MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1974-11)
    This paper presents a unified method [called ENCASING] for dealing with the closely related issues of synchronization and protection in actor systems [Hewitt et al. 1973a, 1973b, 1974a; Greif and Hewitt 1975]. Actors are ...
