INCAS

Developed by:
University of Kaiserslautern, FRG J. Nehmer, D. Haban, F. Mattern, D. Rombach, and D. Wybraietz

Short Description:
The INCAS multicomputer project aims at the development of a comprehensive methology for the design and implementation of locally distributed systems. A structuring concept for distributed operating systems has been developed and integrated into the syste m implementation language LADY. The concurrent high-level programming language CSSA, based on the actor model, has been designed for the implementation of distributed applications. A substantial effort in the INCAS project is directed towards the developm ent of a distributed test methodology.
