Transparently programming heterogeneous distributed systems [chapter]

T. Wolff, K.-P. Löhr
1996 Distributed Platforms  
The HERON system is a language-independent platform for distributed object systems. As opposed to similar platforms such as Amadeus or CORBA, it neither meddles with the language systems nor compromises distribution transparency. This paper, after presenting the basic design issues, focuses on the notion of remote inheritance and on how to support language heterogeneity without writing IDL code.
