Abstract

A new coordination language for distributed data-parallel programs is presented, call SNet. The intention of SNet is to introduce advanced structuring techniques into a coordination language: stream processing and various forms of subtyping. The talk will present the organisation of SNet, its major type inferencing algorithms and will briefly discuss the current state of implementation and possible applications.
