Techniques for Developing Correct, Fast, and Robust Implementations of Distributed Protocols

159 p.Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 1998.Finally, the thesis presents a software architecture for implementing systems with interacting distributed objects. The architecture allows systems to be incrementally extended with new objects and new operations, including operations over objects on remote systems. This is achieved using design patterns, and a novel scheme for incremental construction of state machines. The architecture was used to build a virtual memory system that is smoothly extended to support distributed shared memory.U of I OnlyRestricted to the U of I community idenfinitely during batch ingest of legacy ETD
