This book was released on 1995 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers collected in this volume cover a wide range of issues relevant to abstract models, including terminology and concepts for abstract models of computation, models for general purpose parallel computing, declarative models, performance modelling, and special purpose parallel models.The papers originated from the Second Workshop on Abstract Machine Models for Highly Parallel Computers, sponsored by the BCS Parallel Processing Specialist Group. Overall themes of the workshop were the specification, implementation, and application of such models, and the identification of keyissues for future research.
