That citation "Object Oriented Concurrent Constraint Programming in Oz" leads to an article in German. I would suggest using http://babelfish.altavista.com to translate from German into English. Also there is no fulltext at that link unless you are a member of ACM I guess. Oz is a language for distributed programming, not a country like where I am from - Australia - quite confusing for a beginner with this jargon.

This article series is a well-written and succinct overview of the state of parallel programming today. Thanks to the authors!

However, I wonder how "real" pH is, given that there are no references to implementations of pH or to real-life applications written in pH. As far as I can see from some quick Web searches, pH still is an academic research project.
