Abstract : |
In this paper we introduce the coordination model Objective Linda which has been designed to meet the needs of open distributed systems by rigorously combining object orientation with uncoupled communication. Hierarchical abstractions are provided for structuring large systems. It will be shown that using Objective Linda, interoperability can be achieved between different programming languages and heterogeneous system architectures. Its usefulness for open distributed systems will be illustrated by examples. 1, |
