Abstract

DOWL is an extension of the Trellis language supporting distribution. It allows programmers to transparently invoke operations on remote objects and to move objects between the nodes of a distributed system. A few primitives permit the programmer to take full advantage of distribution and to tune performance; most notably by restricting the mobility of objects and specifying which objects should move together. This paper describes the implementation of these extensions: the object format, communication system and the mechanism to invoke operations on remote objects. Performance figures are also presented.
