It is called message passing to distinguish it from passing parameters. Mpi was developed in 19931994 by a group of researchers from industry, government, and academia. Message passing is nothing but sending and receving of information by the objects same as people exchange information. Sample program java message passing, message passing. Because they are anonymous, objects communicating have no knowledge of one another and therefore are independent of the object they are communicating with.

Instead they communicate by passing messages not to be confused with smalltalk80 messages, which have little to do with concurrency, but see alankayonmessaging. In message passing languages such as objective c instead of methods there are recievers, but broadly the approach of defining them and calling them is much the same the difference is the way its handled. The asynchronous agents library provides several functions that let you pass messages among components. Use acknowledgements, and resend if a message is lost.
