ABSTRACT
We propose to search for common abstractions for concurrency models to enable multi-language virtual machines to support a wide range of them. This would enable domain-specific solutions for concurrency problems. Furthermore, such an abstraction could improve portability of virtual machines to the vastly different upcoming many-core architectures.
