Resumen
Object-oriented (OO) distributed programming is fundamentally different from building mechanisms that hide remote invocations behind traditional, centralized abstractions. The metaphor of a community of independent objects communicating by passing messages is misleading and dangerous when thinking in terms of a distributed system. That metaphor should not hide the significant difference between distributed interaction and local interaction. OO distributed programming should not be about hiding distribution behind classical abstractions of traditional or centralized OO languages. In other words, OO distributed programming should not be about building a distributed OO language or system. OO distributed programming is about viewing distribution as the application domain from which fundamental abstractions should be extracted and classified. This is a challenging area of research and taking it seriously requires going beyond wrapping existing technologies with OO-like interfaces.
