Abstract

This paper suggests a method for developing object-oriented distributed applications using the C++ and DCE technologies. It presents the benefits provided by the use of object-oriented design and development techniques when writing distributed applications. It describes a model to map DCE onto C++, a structure for distributed C++ applications and it presents a set of challenges we encountered while integrating C++ with DCE, along with the solutions we chose for them. Through this approach we saw a significant decrease in application code size as well as an increase in developer productivity.
