....Related Work In this section we briefly describe the development of the RPC concepts, and compare our work with other projects in this field. Some of the initial developments of the remote procedure call concept appeared in the context of programming language design for distributed computing [17] [18] The remote procedure call mechanism was first implemented in the Xerox Cedar environment [2] and since then RPC mechanisms have been implemented for a number of operating systems, programming languages, and programming environments for distributed computing [5] 6] 9] 19] 20] Sun RPC ....

....apply uniformly to parallel and sequential objects, the means for communicating with them must also apply uniformly. The originating object must be able to initiate communication without knowing how the receiving object will handle it, and vice versa. Several programming systems, e.g. Starmod [Cook, 1980], allow both synchronous communication (procedures) and asynchronous communication (messages) but usually require both sender and receiver to agree on the form. These systems have non uniform communication. Most computations initiate communication with the intent of receiving a reply. ....

....node then it must be do so through message passing. Such a framework allows general designs to be produced, with the underlying hardware providing a controlled influence upon the design approach. Burns and Wellings [2] note how this acts as a basis for CONIC [13] SR [14] Argus [15] and StarMod [16]. The virtual node concept allows us recognise the the interaction between the hardware and the software of a distributed system in a controlled manner. Unfortunately, the notations that are founded upon this concept often do not provide sufficient abstractions and representational capability. ....
