	abstract = {Lime is an action-based object-oriented concurrent programming language, which was developed by Dr. Sekerinski from McMaster University. The development of Lime is based on the observation that more and more applications will be implemented on networks of processors in the future and those are significantly more ambitious than current applications. It is difficult for programmers to do multiprogramming using current object-oriented programming languages. Action systems, which model concurrency by nondeterministic choice among atomic actions (e.g. Lamport’s Temporal Logic of Actions, J. Misra and K. M. Chandy’s Unity Logic and Back’s Action Systems), can help us to simplify both the specification and design of concurrent applications. But all of that is still theoretical. Such action systems have not been implemented and experimented with very thoroughly.

Lime is an object-oriented programming language that is based on the action system. The closest approach is Seuss, which was developed by J. Misra et.al. at The University of Texas at Austin, but the limitation of Seuss is that it is not fully object-oriented. One purpose of my research is to find out how to schedule actions for applications running on a multiprocessor environment. I implemented a compiler for this new technique that can translate programs written in Lime to Java assembly language.

Object-oriented programming techniques are used widely in software development, and Lime can make a good combination of these techniques and action systems. So we can make the development of object-oriented concurrent programs much easier and efficient.},
