Dynamic Allocation of Tasks in occam3
  In many application environments there is a need to able to allocate resources dynamically. The occam programming language has no concept of such dynamic allocation. This paper shows how dynamic allocation can be incorporated into occam without sacrificing the benefits which are obtained using static allocation strategies. This capability has been achieved by a simple extension to occam3 to include a TASK mechanism which is defined using existing occam3 features. The main component of the dynamic mechanism is a library which manages the allocation and de-allocation of tasks. The paper includes an example showing how the dynamic allocation mechanism is employed.
