Re: [boost] Active objects?

Symmetric interaction between groups of peer objects is a different model of operation. Any object can "call" any other object and there is no "return" (i.e. future). Most of my async-programming problems seem to fall into the latter category.

I'm certainly no expert in threads, but I'm fascinated by the idea of 'symmetric interaction'. Do you have a short example of symmetric interaction ***Only*** ?( without any other structure to the system). I ask because it sounds like a recipe for chaos. Surely in any practical system, there must be a higher level of organisation than this? regards Andy Little
