Distributed Object-Oriented Software Architectures

Description

Investigation of middleware and architectures for distributed object-oriented software systems. This includes communication service like remote method call and message passing, abstraction from transport layer, and concepts and tools for monitoring of distributed object systems.

Team

  • Rainer Weinreich (JKU)

  • Werner Kurschl (JKU, now FH O.Ö), monitoring

  • Josef Altmann (JKU, now FH O.Ö), cooperative software development

Results

  • An IPC framework for object-based communication

  • A framework for application configuration and management

  • A framework and tools for monitoring of distributed object systems

  • Proof of concepts, by applying the developed concepts and tools for process control applications and for cooperative software development.
