Hi.. In our faculty at the University of Saarland, Saarbruecken - West Germany, we are developing a distributed object-oriented system based on a C++ -like object-oriented language. Our system allows dynamic loading and linking of objects on remote machines. With this facility we can access remote objects (and thus external resources) as though they were local. The system also supports the use of shared objects, in other words shared resources, so several applications can access the same object and can use the shared objects as a medium for information exchanges. The call to a remote object can either be synchronous or asynchronous. With asynchronous calls, method invocations can be performed concurrently on different machines. The system is currently in use for many applications like RemoteFileServer, RemotePrintServer, RemoteExecServer, etc. Yet, we still have too few experiences with the system. Has anybody already had experiences in such a system (distributed / concurrent object-oriented system) ?? I would be glad, if somebody wants to exchange experiences with us. best regards, Hoei S.
