Distributed programming with intermediate IDL

Several heterogeneous-language distributed programming systems have been developed which either use an explicit Interface Definition Language (IDL) for the specification of distributed objects or which directly translate server language specifications to corresponding client language representations...

Description
Summary:Several heterogeneous-language distributed programming systems have been developed which either use an explicit Interface Definition Language (IDL) for the specification of distributed objects or which directly translate server language specifications to corresponding client language representations. In this paper, we present a new approach which combines the advantages of these prior systems. Our approach uses an IDL as an implicit intermediate step in the translation from server to client language rather than as an explicit user-provided definition.
