Concurrent execution system for action languages

Traditional methods of managing concurrent processes are difficult and prone to errors. We propose that actions can provide a much simpler approach to the problem. In this paper, we use Temporal Logic of Actions to define an execution system that can be used to concurrently execute programs created with action languages. Important features of the system include naturally concurrent execution of actions, automated management of mutual exclusion, complete avoidance of low-level deadlocks, and implicit means of synchronization.
