“…• Create a protocol that assembles the transmission control mechanisms, and implement this protocol as an independent layer. Previous work [34] has shown the interest of this approach. However, because of the layered structure and of the genericity of protocol used to assemble the communication mechanisms, the efficiency and the interest of such approach remains limited.…”

The Application Level Framing (ALF) principle states that information should be packetized by the application into Application Data Units (ADUs), each of which should be at the same time a unit of transmission, a unit of control, and a unit of processing. This paper describes a communication system architecture based on the ALF principle, which then attempts to maximize what might be gained from using ADUs. In this architecture, protocols are tailored to application requirements, i.e. to ADU types. In a first approximation we consider three specific requirements, namely in-order delivery, reliable delivery and real-time delivery. ALF based systems promise performance gains, however implementing them in practice might be a complex task. Therefore we have developed a compiler that automatically generates ALF based communication systems starting from formal specification of applications. We have used this compiler to generate protocols tailored to three specific applications. Experimental results show that the gains are linked to application "complexity".

“…The combined use of C++ and the object oriented technology was considered as an alternative to the design model based on C. To deal with memory management, concurrency, communication, and synchronization, corresponding native operating system mechanisms are abstracted in terms of classes or objects [3], [4]. This makes it easy to manipulate operating system constructs, but does not enhance protocol performance.…”

TCP/IP routing protocols essentially implement distributed algorithms. Traditionally, the C and C++ programming languages have been used for implementing software supporting these protocols. Since the semantics of these languages do not provide adequate supports to cover concurrency, real-time and intrinsic properties of networking systems, protocols software are designed according to classical schemes where operating system features are extensively used to overcome C or C++ limitations. These models have served the Internet extremely well .nowadays However, as the current Internet routing system is evolving to address new requirements, so many software design methodologies. This paper shows an Ada95 technology based approach. It describes a distributed object based prototype of routing protocols.

“…Similarly, distributed object systems such as Corba OMG95] and DCOM provide uniform transparent access to remote objects. Frameworks have also been proposed vRBF + 95, SSTZ93,SBS93] that provide building block protocols to construct customized protocols for group communication with different quality of service properties. Based on these abstractions, several higher level abstractions such as whiteboards and shared editors have also been constructed.…”

With the recent advances in the communication technology and popularity of the Internet, a large number of distributed web-based applications are being developed. To ease the development o f s u c h a pplications, software support to facilitate coordination and communication is needed. This paper describes an object-oriented system that provides software support for di erent aspects of application development, namely session management, coordination and information exchange. In particular, the paper proposes a coordination service as a building block for developing distributed applications. A set of processes or agents that need to coordinate their actions can supply a coordination speci cation to this service. The service then performs the appropriate lower level communication to coordinate the actions of the processes as per the speci cation. We believe t h a t s u c h a service should be available as part of the basic infrastructure for developing web-based distributed applications. Our framework has been implemented in JAVA and incorporates the notion of role types to accommodate application development in an open system.
