Abstract

Remote procedure call (RPC) provides a useful paradigm for developing distributed applications. The growing use of RPC in developing distributed applications has resulted in international efforts to standardize RPC mechanisms to ensure future interoperability of RPC-based distributed applications. This paper describes the OSI RPC mechanism proposed by ISO. The OSI RPC model, service, protocol and Interface Definition Notation are described. The Extended Application Layer Structure concepts are also described. Issues of extensions to the OSI RPC mechanism are briefly discussed.
