In asynchronous event systems, the production of an event is decoupled from its consumption via an event queue. The loose coupling of such systems allows great flexibility as to ...
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...
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...
Answering aggregate queries like sum, count, min, max over regions containing moving objects is often needed for virtual world applications, real-time monitoring systems, etc. Sin...
This paper considers an integration of asynchronous communication, virtual binding, and multiple inheritance. Object orientation is the leading paradigm for concurrent and distribu...
