Abstract
Emerging distributed applications increasingly required adequate
tolls and techniques for system- and application-level management. The
integration of both aspects in an overall system framework is an important issue.
This paper presents such a framework supporting advanced distributed
applications in the context of the evolving Open Distributed Processing reference
model. For system-level communication, an efficient subsystem providing advanced
service capabilities is presented to cope with the increasing diversity of
application service requirements. For application-level processing, a distributed
object-based environment is offered. It implements location-independent invocation and
object mobility and provides a high level of distribution transparency. The
approach is augmented with tools and techniques for managing an overall
application configuration
Keywords: Open Distributed Processing; distributed applications; advanced
communication services; high-performance communication; distributed
objective-based systems; language and tool support.
