Asynchronous method calls have been proposed to better integrate object orientation with distribution. In the Creol language, asynchronous method calls are combined with so-called...
— This paper considers a formal object-oriented model for distributed computing. Object orientation appears as a leading framework for concurrent and distributed systems. However...
Current object-oriented approaches to distributed programs may be criticized in several respects. First, method calls are generally synchronous, which leads to much waiting in dis...
Abstract. Many long-lived and distributed systems must remain available yet evolve over time, due to, e.g., bugfixes, feature extensions, or changing user requirements. To facilit...
