Distributed application engineering: an integrated model, language and tool approach

An approach based on the object-oriented paradigm is presented. Its major characteristics are an extended object-oriented model of computation, communication and structure, linguistic support for distributed programming, and tool support for application development. The approach is based on existing facilities from the areas of distributed object-oriented systems, remote procedure call, and object-oriented development methods. A discussion is presented of advanced issues and requirements resulting from specific problems of distribution. Examples are dependability support, heterogenity, multiparadigm approaches, and software engineering data management.<
