Abstract
We present in this paper the implementation, in the Java language, of a distributed environment for running functional programs. The idea is to join Java Virtual Machines (JVMs)runni ng on different computers into a single virtual machine for running functional programs. To test this virtual machine we have implemented a small Haskell like functional language in which parallelism is expressed by some simple combinators.
