Modular specification of interaction policies in distributed computing

Software executing on distributed systems consists of many asynchronous, autonomous components which interact in order to coordinate local activity. The need for such coordination, as well as requirements such as heterogeneity, scalability, security and availability, considerably increase the complexity of code in distributed applications. Moreover, changing requirements, as well as changes in hardware platforms, lead to software that is constantly evolving and complicates reuse. To support development and evolution of distributed applications requires techniques which allow coordination code to be specified, customized, and maintained independently of application components; goals which cannot be realized solely through object-oriented techniques.
