✦ Synopsis

This book documents scientific work presented initially during two workshops held within the HCM network project VIM: a virtual multicomputer for symbolic applications. The revised full papers presented in the book have gone through a process of thorough post-workshop reviewing. They are organized in sections on languages and systems, agents and capabilities, and coordination and collaboration.
