Abstract
Constraint-based concurrency, also known as the cc (concurrent constraint) formalism, is a simple framework of concurrency that features (i) asynchronous message passing, (ii) polyadicity and data structuring mechanisms, (iii) channel mobility, and (iv) nonstrictness (or computing with partial information). Needless to say, all these features originate from the use of constraints and logical variables for interprocess communication and data representation. Another feature of constraint-based concurrency is its remarkable stability; all the above features were available essentially in its present form by mid 1980’s in concurrent logic programming languages.
