Abstract :
An active object is a function that returns a pointer to its environment when an execution thread is attached to it. This facility of BaLinda K, a parallel Lisp dialect with an imperative appearance, is shown to be useful for constructing I/O interfaces and execution control mechanisms, and has potential as a tool for system program implementation
