    • Laws for Communicating Parallel Processes 

      Baker, Henry; Hewitt, Carl (MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1976-11)
      This paper presents some "laws" that must be satisfied by computations involving communicating parallel processes. The laws take the form of stating restrictions on the histories of computations that are physically realizable. ...

    • Evolving Parallel Programs 

      Hewitt, Carl (MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1979-05)
      Message passing is directed toward the production of programs that are intended to execute efficiently in a computing environment with a large number of processors. The paradigm attempts to address the computational issues ...

    • The Position of the Sun
