Description
Both functional and concurrent programming are relatively new paradigms with great promise. In this book, a survey is provided of extensions to Standard ML, one of the most widely used functional languages, with new primitives for concurrent programming. Computer scientists and graduate students will find this a valuable guide to this topic.
