A system framework for open distributed processing
Abstract
Emerging distributed applications increasingly require adequate tools and techniques for system- and application-level management. The integration of both aspects in an overall system framework is an important issue. This paper presents such a framework supporting advanced distributed applications in the context of the evolving Open Distributed Processing reference model. For system-level communication, an efficient subsystem providing advanced service capabilities is presented to cope with the increasing diversity of application service requirements. For application-level processing, a distributed object-based environment is offered. It implements location-independent invocation and object mobility and provides a high level of distribution transparency. The approach is augmented with tools and techniques for managing an overall application configuration. © 1993 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
