framework. Tempo++ is an object-oriented extension to the declarative concurrent programming language Tempo (Ramirez, 1995). Tempo++ includes extensions that support practical features lacking in the earlier Tempo such as numbers and data structures, and operations on them, among others. In Tempo++ concurrency issues are separated from the code, minimizing dependency between application functionality and concurrency control. This minimal dependency allows software reuse to be more effective and concurrent programs more flexible. Different synchronisation schemes can be tested without modifying the implementation of the operations, and conversely, a particular synchronisation scheme may be reused by several applications (Ramirez, 1995). Parallel programming is considered to be a difficult task (Foster, 1996). It is widely accepted that parallel programming is more difficult than sequential programming. A parallel programmer must deal with the added complexity brought about by multiple threads of control (managing their creation and destruction and orchestrating their interactions via synchronization and communication). Parallel programs also manage a larger set of resources than sequential programs, controlling for exampl
