Linda Programming Model

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Linda is a simpler, more powerful and more elegant model than any of these four alternatives (message-passing, concurrent objects, logic languages, functional).claim0.816
  The central thesis of the paper, stated explicitly in the introduction.
• Linda programming language exemplifies bringing craft principles into computational systems.claim0.809
• Linda (tuple space model)concept0.803
  A model of process creation and coordination based on generative communication and tuple spaces; the central topic of the paper.
• Lindaconcept0.796
  The core parallel programming model introduced in this paper, based on tuple space operations and orthogonal to any base language.
• The Actors model covers fewer programming patterns than Linda, but in a more complicated way.claim0.796
  Critique that Actors is less expressive yet more complex.
• Linda is a model of process creation and coordination that is orthogonal to the base language in which it’s embedded.quote0.794
  Load-bearing definition of Linda's relation to the base language.
• Linda is a more practical and a more elegant alternative to concurrent logic programming.claim0.789
  Overall comparison conclusion against concurrent logic.
• The Linda model doesn't care how the multiple execution threads in a Linda program compute what they compute; it deals only with how these execution threads are created and organized into a coherent program.concept0.789
  Foundational principle: Linda's orthogonality to base language and computation model is its core strength.
