+This journal paper provides a thorough overview of the AmbientTalk/2 language. The first part of the paper explains the key language features by example. The second part of the paper provides a precise operational semantics of the core language.

 <note>This paper gives a general overview of the AmbientTalk/2 language and explains the rationale behind its concurrent and distributed language design. It is a good start for people who are completely new to the language. This paper does build upon the ECOOP2006 paper on Ambient-oriented Programming, but can also be read stand-alone.</note>

+<note>This PhD Dissertation gives an in-depth account of the AmbientTalk language (cf. chapters 4 and 5). Chapter 5 in particular discusses AmbientTalk's reflective facilities. Note that the dissertation is not written in a tutorial-style, so it may not be the most suitable publication for learning about AmbientTalk.</note>

 <note>This paper is about AmbientTalk's "language symbiosis" with Java. In other words, it explains how AmbientTalk programs can interface with other code running on the JVM. In particular, we discuss the interplay between AmbientTalk event loops and Java threads. The paper briefly describes AmbientTalk, but it is not recommended as the first paper to read about the language.</note>

 <note>This paper is about the reflective architecture of AmbientTalk. If you're interested in the design rationale behind AmbientTalk's metaobject protocol, this paper is for you. The AmbientTalk language is briefly described, but it's not recommended to read this paper first if you're new to AmbientTalk.</note>

+<note>This paper describes AmbientTalk's metaobject protocol in detail, for both objects as well as actors. It is an extension of the above paper, providing a comprehensive description of the entire reflective API.</note>

[ [[http://soft.vub.ac.be/Publications/2009/vub-prog-tr-09-06.pdf|download]] ]
+<note>This paper describes AmbientTalk's support for dealing with partial failures through the use of Leasing. Leasing enables time-based memory management of remote object references and published objects.</note>

+<note>The paper describes AmbientTalk's support for traits. Traits enable flexible composition of objects. An operational semantics is introduced for the sequential subset of AmbientTalk to model trait composition.
