Abstract: CoOperative Objects (COOs) are a concurrent object-oriented modelling and programming language, which uses the Petri net theory to define the concurrency within each object, among objects, and also the inter-object asynchronous communication. SYROCO is a C++ implementation of CoOperative Objects which proves to be efficient and convenient enough to support real size applications.
The paper aims to show that intra-object concurrency is of paramount importance for models of object-oriented concurrency, and that intra-object concurrency is smartly supported by the integration of the object-oriented and Petri net paradigms. Namely, it discusses the model of concurrency adopted by COOs, and details how it is implemented in SYROCO.
