An approach to asynchronous object-oriented parallel and distributed computing on wide-area systems?

Abstract

This paper presents a flexible and effective model for object-oriented parallel programming in both local and wide area contexts and its implementation as a Java package. Blending remote evaluation and active messages, our model permits programmers to express asynchronous, complex interactions, so overcoming some of the limitations of the models based on message passing and RPC and reducing communication costs. © 2000 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
