Cybernetics and Systems Analysis Aims and scope

Abstract

The domain-specific language (DSL) Strumok is proposed for describing inter-actor interaction and operation with shared memory. The efficiency of the language Strumok in comparison with that of the Java Vert.x framework is assessed using shared memory.
