Abstract:

In this thesis we shall present our solution to the problem of
achieving interoperability between heterogeneous distributed object
architectures and paradigms. What makes our solution special is that
it is specifically designed to address the problems faced by embedded
systems, where lack of system resources have hitherto prevented their
participation in distributed object systems. Since embedded systems
are more likely to be placed in heterogeneous object systems than
their desktop counterparts, the two issues are naturally linked.
