The proliferation of workstations and PCs has brought a tremendous amount of power, with enough MIPS potential to even replace the mainframe. Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) are a technique for accessing these available distributed cycles for mission-critical applications. The main aspect of RPC is...

Remote procedure calls (RPC) and message queuing systems are enabling vendors to simplify issues involved in client-server computing due to less complicated programming that lets subsets of functions be used consistently between protocols. RPCs and message queues are designed to operate in different operating...
