POOL-T is a  parallel object-oriented language developed at our lab. In the
mean time is has been replaced by POOL2, which is based on the same
principles but provides some more convenient notation to the programmer
("syntactic sugar"). POOL2 is intended to run on DOOM (decentralized
object-oriented machine). A 12-processor prototype of this machine has been
running for several months now, a 100-node prototype is under construction.

Language definitions for POOL-T and POOL2 are freely available from us. For
POOL-T, an interpreter/simulator running under Unix (on sequential machines)
is also available; for POOL2 these will become publicly available soon.

POOL is also the subject of studies in formal semantics and proof theory. A
paper about its operational semantics appeared in POPL '86. An article on its
denotational semantics will appear in Information and Computation.

For more information, you can send your (ordinary mail) address to me,
