Abstract
Method activations in object-oriented programs are viewed as generating a special kind of processes. The extension of object-oriented languages with a construct for sending multi-messages provides a means for generating concurrent processes. Synchronization of parallel actions is achieved by exclusively useable code sections. The writing of parallel software is made easier by code reuse and tool-support for system structuring. A simple scheme for automatic load distribution in distributed hardware systems is based on the properties of the generated processes.
