Abstract

This paper discusses the design of a Remote Operation Call (ROC) mechanism. ROCs are a generalisation of the remote procedure call concept. They provide for a wider variety of remote calls, such as asynchronous, directed and multicast calls. An implementation of ROCs on a network of personal computers is also described.
