Programming Process Coordination in Little-JIL

Abstract. Process programming languages have not been readily adopted by practitioners. We are addressing this problem through the development of Little-JIL, a language that focuses on the coordination aspects of processes and provides a visual representation, yet one that is rigorous enough for execution and formal reasoning. We have used Little-JIL to program several software engineering processes, knowledge discovery processes, and are working on processes to coordinate robot teams. We believe the simplicity gained by focusing on coordination and visualization should make Little-JIL both readily adoptable and widely useful.
