Abstract

Modula-3 provides language-level features such as threads, objects and exceptions which are useful in distributed systems. The ANSA testbench provides a complete infrastructure for object-based distributed systems, but currently requires the use of C as the main programming language. We describe a successful attempt to marry the two, which provides a practical example of how a modern systems programming language can make the construction of object-based distributed systems more congenial for the application programmer.
