Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could point me towards various
papers (any) concerning object oriented approaches to distributed computing
in the unix environment?
Thankyou,
Brandt Hott

Here are some references on object-oriented distributed computing. A few of these references do indeed mention UNIX, however, most are general articles. Many of these articles have decent bibliographies. There are many more references than I have the time to post here. I hope this helps. -- Ed Berard (301) 353-9652 ------------------------------ [Agha, 1986]. G.

------------- Sorry for any duplication of this message. I tried to post it before but didn't see it at my site so I presume my attempted posting failed. ------------- Having just started my Masters (adding a synchronisation mechanism to a parallel OO language) I'm looking for references in the area of synchronisation mechanisms. In particular, I'd be pleased if anyone could point me in the right direction for references to the following: 1. How to overcome the basic conflict between inheritance and synchronisation. 2. Powerful synchronisation mechanisms. Semaphores and Monitors are a bit low level. I'm looking for something with similar/more expressive power than (Regular, Open, Predicate) Path Expressions. 3. Efficient implementation of low level synchronisation primitives. (You may be wondering what this has got to do with OO programming. Point (1) above is the answer and hence my posting to this group). Thanks in advance Ciaran. P.S. Please email me. I'll summerise if there's much interest. ------- cjmchale@cs.tcd.ie
