Foreword

This manual documents the release 1.05 of the join-calculus language; it is organized as follows:

Status

This is a first prototype implementation; it does not fully implement the distributed semantics (no remote failure detection). The implementation also has serious problems of efficiency (simple interpreter, no distributed GC).
