    ABSTRACT:: We present COOL, an object-oriented parallel language derived
               from C++ by adding constructs to specify concurrent
               execution. We describe the language design, and the
               facilities for creating parallelism, performing
               synchronization, and communicating. The parallel construct is
               parallel functions that execute asynchronously.
               Synchronization support includes mutex functions and future
               types. A shared-memory model is assumed for parallel
               execution, and all communication is through shared-memory.
               The parallel programming model of COOL has proved useful in
               several small programs that we have attempted. We present
               some examples and discuss the primary implementation issues.
