Language-Level Support for Remote Object Invocations.

摘要

The object paradigm seems to be a suitable choice for the structuring of large distributed systems. Since distributed systems have a lot in common with parallel systems, object-oriented design may be successfully employed within massively parallel systems, too. Therefore, object-oriented language support is desirable to ease the cooperation between remote resident distribution units. The paper discusses the concepts of a C++-based language extension for distributed/parallel computing as well as a novel object model called 'dual objects.' Both object model and language will be employed for the construction of the parallel PEACE operating system family. (Copyright (c) GMD 1992.)
