"The key abstraction here is a well defined interface to make apps talk.
ie like DDE, COM, CORBA, pipes and stdin/out etc. These are all fine
except they assume that everybody understands the format to start with.
Also they have varying levels of impact on your system. pipes/stdin/out
are extremely low cost to implement. CORBA - expensive. DDE/COM non
scalable."
And since one of the newsgroups being cross-posted here is comp.lang.ada,
we should add (as another low cost option), the RPC interface provided
by the distributed systems annex of the Ada RM, which has been successfully
used for both homogenous and hetergenous distrbution, on single machines,
and on networks.
