I am not sure what you mean. There is Ada's distributed annex and you 
could use remote procedure call from there. You could also use any other 
art of communication, e.g. some custom networking protocol. In any case 
that will require re-design and it would be likely much slower.

I would suggest making objects passive, driven by an external task (from 
a pool of worker tasks). You will need a scheduler which to activate 
objects depending on the events and assigning free tasks to them. The 
objects will perform a small amount of actions and then return the 
control back keeping the state, e.g. awaiting for some event.
