This paper discusses two extensions to the kernel Log language presented in 11]: local blackboards and conditional access primitives. The former are needed to alleviate the blackboard communication bottleneck and to solve message naming connicts whereas the latter improves the message selection power of pattern matching or uniication.

Recently, we have demonstrated a super-parallel holographic correlator, which uniquely identifie...
