Synchronous active objects introduce CSP's primitives in Java

This paper presents a proposal of a language, based on synchronous active objects that introduces the CSP primitives into Java. The proposal does not use channels to realise the inter-process communications, but is shown to offer the same expressive power as the channel based solutions. The paper also shows that the rendezvous defined by CSP or our synchronous objects are very well adapted to the industrial development of event driven applications, handling simultaneously GUIs and accesses to remote applications.
