active object

The body is not visible from the outside of the active object.

Active objects, on the other hand, are always passed by reference.

Active objects on the other hand can do this.

Any active object can be manipulated as if it were a passive instance of the same class.

Active objects can be created on any of the hosts involved in the computation.

An interface which defines the method request on an active object.

This is done via a programming idiom called active objects.

Active objects dramatically improve your ability to reason about the concurrent software.

Actor is an active object that carries out actions to achieve the goal.

In practice there may be many active objects in a thread, each doing its own task.

Io is apparently the most volcanically active object in the solar system.

An active object framework is a callback-based form of multitasking for computer systems.

Several Active objects can be waiting to execute (based on priority) and each one must restrict its own execution time.

An active object runs with its own thread.

Additional features include support for active objects, operator overloading and exception handling.

One common use of AMI is in the active object design pattern.

The implementation of the active object method.

An active object is composed of two objects: a body, and a standard Java object.

Symmetrically, this also applies to objects returned from methods called on active objects.

All objects, both active and passive, may have references onto active objects.

They can interact by requesting things of each other, and of active objects in other threads.

Active objects inherently support and automatically enforce the following best practices of concurrent programming:

The user selects possible instructions, and then customizes the active objects of the instruction, such as variable names or numbers.

Whenever possible, a method call on an active object is reified as an asynchronous request.

The implementation of active objects in Symbian is based around each thread having a "request semaphore".
