I will discuss a philosophy that stresses task-oriented parallel programming. The higher level abstraction makes it easier to write many parallel programs. It has also been adapted to include many features. Finally, the nicest feature is that by building on top of other systems, the TOP-C model has been implemented in only a few thousand lines of code. A study of interactions between the building blocks of AP Rondo proposes a better way to separate and connect visitors or adjustments, strategies and class graphs.
Adaptive programming has some good answers to dealing with environmental acquisition.
