Abstract

The object-oriented paradigm offers many advantages that can assist implementors of large, complex distributed systems. The authors present a number of lower-layer concepts that enable developers to model and design systems in a way that will help in ensuring qualities of open-endedness and dynamic reconfiguration. The aspects presented in this paper flow from a combination of research in the object-oriented paradigm and experience gained in the area of distributed network management systems
