METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPLEMENTING REMOTE PROCEDURE CALLS IN A DISTRIBUTED COMPUTER SYSTEM

摘要

A system and a method for implementing remote procedure calls in a distributed computer system (Figure 2) provide a base object class (Figures 1(1) and 1(2)) from which all distributed objects can be derived. A program extracting all classes derived from the base class provides an inheritance tree (Figure 3(a)) to allow down casting from a root class to a base class and to allow passing high level data structure between participants of a remote procedure call. An Unix script provides stub routines (Figures 7a and 7b) for implementing client-server model communicating processes.
