<title>Kali Scheme</title>

<h1>Kali Scheme</h1>
<p>
Kali Scheme is a distributed implementation of Scheme that permits
efficient transmission of higher-order objects such as closures and
continuations. The integration of distributed communication
facilities within a higher-order programming language engenders a
number of new abstractions and paradigms for distributed computing.
Among these are user-specified load-balancing and migration policies
for threads, incrementally-linked distributed computations, and
parameterized client-server applications.
Kali Scheme supports concurrency and communication using first-class
procedures and continuations. It integrates procedures and continuations
into a message-based distributed framework that allows any Scheme object
(including code vectors) to be sent and received in a message. Some of
the applications and implementation techniques we have looked at using
Kali Scheme include:
<p>
<DD> User-level load balancing and migration.
<DD> Incremental distributed linking of code objects.
<DD> Parameterized client-server applications.
<DD> Long-lived parallel computations.
<DD> Distributed data mining.
<DD> Executable content in messages over wide-area networks
(e.g. the World-Wide Web)
