The paradigm was originally invented for parallel computers in the 1980s, especially computers built with [[transputer]] microprocesors by [[INMOS]], or similar architectures. It evolved to meet deficiencies in the [[message passing]] paradigm of [[Occam]] and enable uniform efficiency when porting applications between distributed memory and shared memory parallel computers.
The first example of the paradigm appears in the programming language [[Ease programming language|Ease]] designed at Yale University<ref name="process">{{cite paper | last=Ericsson-Zenith | authorlink=Steven Ericsson-Zenith | |title=Programming with Ease; Semiotic definition of the language|publisher=Yale University, Computer Science Technical Report YALEU/DCS/RR-809|date=1990|}}</ref><ref name="process">{{cite book | last=Ericsson-Zenith | authorlink=Steven Ericsson-Zenith | |title=Process Interaction Models|publisher=Paris University|date=1992|}}</ref> in 1990. Similar models have appeared since in the loose combination of SQL databases and objected oriented languages such as [[Java (programming language)|Java]], often referred to as object-relational models and widely used in large scale distributed systems today. The paradigm is likely to appear on desktop computers as microprocessors increase the number of processors ([[multicore]]) per chip.
