A detailed presentation of a calculus for distributed objects interacting using asynchronous method calls with generalized futures. The authors provide generic results on expressiveness and determinism. They also offer an extensive review of concurrent languages and calculi, with comprehensive figures and summaries. And they analyze many implementation strategies that can readily be used by developers of distributed systems.

Denis Caromel is full professor at University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis (UNSA). He is also member of the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF), a multi-disciplinary national academia that selects a few professors based on the excellence of their research records. His research interests include parallel, concurrent, and distributed object-oriented programming, the semantics of sequential and parallel languages for the sake of automatic and semi-automatic parallelization.
Ludovic Henrio graduated from Ecole Polytechnique in Paris. He is currently a PHD candidate at University of Nice Sophia Antipolis -- CNRS -- INRIA. His research interests include semantics for concurrent, parallel and distributed calculi, static analysis, design and implementation of object-oriented languages.
