The "must read" article in this field is Birrell and Nelson's "implementing Remote Procedure CallS" -- I THINK IN 1984. Nelson's doctoral dissertation -- Issued as a 1981 Xerox Parc tech report is also good reading. More recent stuff inludes Dave Cheriton's work on transaction transport protocols to support RPC (see SIGCOMM '86 proceedings) and some of the work to develop RPC systems capable of having multiple outstanding calls -- see for example, REXDC paper in Proc. SIGCOMM '89. Craig
