Abstract
In this paper, we propose a method for synthesizing the glue code for distributed programming. The goal of this method is to completely automate the synthesis of code for handling distributed computing issues, such as remote method calls and message passing. By using this method, the software for migrating the objects, synchronizing the communication, and supporting remote method calls can be automatically generated. From the programmer’s point of view, remote accesses to objects are syntactically and semantically indistinguishable from local accesses. The design of the system is discussed and the whole system is based on the Linda notation. A prototype has been developed using JavaSpaces for code synthesis in Java. Experiments show that this method can help developers generate the code for handling distributed message passing and remote procedure calls.
