Abstract

We demonstrate the benefits of applying high-level language paradigms to the design and implementation of communications software for distributed systems. We focus on a set of language mechanisms including modularity and first class functions. We discuss three case studies: a remote procedure call system, a distributed Linda system, and a protocol processing system. The qualitative and quantitative benefits of such a structured use of high-level language mechanisms are analyzed and applied as the basis of a programming methodology for distributed systems,
