Abstract

CLIX is a parallel object oriented language that embodies communicating process model of object oriented programming. It incorporates the notion of objects with communications in distributed systems. The objects in CLIX are encapsulation of information and communication handlers that operate on the information in response to messages. The underlying communication system is modeled as a mail system. In addition to presenting an overview of CLIX, it is reviewed in terms of relevant issues in parallel object oriented programming.
