Coordinated Concurrent Programming in Syndicate
-----------------------------------------------

Abstract: Most programs interact with the world: via graphical user
interfaces, networks, etc. This form of interactivity entails
concurrency, and concurrent program components must coordinate their
computations. This talk will present Syndicate, a design for a
coordinated, concurrent programming language. Each concurrent component
in Syndicate is a functional actor that participates in scoped
conversations. The medium of conversation arranges for message exchanges
and coordinates access to common knowledge. As such, Syndicate occupies
a point in design space halfway between actors and threads.
