In SIMULA, a coroutine is represented by an object of some class, co-operating by means of resume instructions with objects of the same or another class, which are named by means of reference variables. ……
Thus a main program may establish a coroutine relationship with an object that it has generated, using the call/detach mechanism instead of the more symmetric resume/resume mechanism. In this case, the generated object remains subordinate to the main program, and for this reason is sometimes known as a Semicoroutine. ……
Let X and Y be objects, generated by a "master program" M. Assume that M issues a call (X), thereby invoking an "active phase" of X, terminated by a detach operation in X; and then issues a call (Y), and so forth. In this way M may act as a "supervisor" sequencing a pattern of active phases of X, Y, and other objects. Each object is a "slave", which responds with an active phase each time it is called for, whereas M has the responsibility to define the large scale pattern of the entire computation.
Alternatively the decision making may be "decentralised", allowing an object itself to determine its dynamic successor by a resume operation. The operation resume (Y), executed by X, combines an exit out of X (by detach) and a subsequent call (Y), thereby bypassing M. Obligation to return to M is transferred to Y.
