Abstract
Parallel and distributed systems consist of multiple processors that can communicate with each other. Languages for programming such systems support constructs for expressing concurrency and communication. In this chapter, we will study how such languages can be implemented. As we will see, the presence of multiple processors introduces many new problems for a language implementer.
