If we are to measure a concurrent object-oriented language (henceforth abbreviated COOL) against the yardstick of concurrency/inheritance integration, we have to distinguish different degrees of integration:

Hybrid is a concurrent object-oriented language, developed at the University of Geneva, that is an attempt to cleanly integrate the following features (10):

Concurrent object-oriented languages use three types of communication: synchronous, asynchronous, and eager invocation.
The concurrent object-oriented languages resolve these synchronization problems in different ways as discussed in Agha [1990].

Introducing concurrency to a sequential language
While I accept many of their statements concerning concurrent object-oriented languages and functional languages, I find the comparison with concurrent logic languages misguided.
Embeddings of concurrent object-oriented languages and of functional languages in concurrent logic languages have been reported elsewhere.
