Experiences with an object-oriented mapper for coherent distributed shared memory

The paper gives an overview of the implementation of an object-oriented server using the NIH (National Institut of Health) class library. The server was implemented on top of the Chorus microkernel and uses the Chorus external mapper interface. The use of the NIH class library significantly simplified the object-oriented design and implementation of the server, due to the predefined classes and the stringent concept in the library framework.<
