Space-Based Programming (O'Reilly)

[Posted March 26, 2003 by cook]

Bernhard Angerer introduces space-based programming on O'Reilly. "'Space-based programming' heralds a new way of building distributed applications. The dominant methods of distributed programming are based on remote procedure calls (RPC), most notably embodied in the technologies CORBA, EJB, and COM/DCOM. Space architecture supplies a surprisingly compact model that completely replaces the RPC paradigm. Its inherent, minimalistic approach predisposes it to a wide range of applications while endowing it with the advantages of modularity, scalability, and source code economy."
