DOCASE: a methodic approach to distributed programming

Distributed object-oriented programming languages have proved to be superior to other known approaches for the development of complex distributed applications. Most of these languages support location-independent method invocation and object migration. Together with the fine granularity of objects, these features allow distribution-transparent modeling and programming. However, large object-oriented applications tend to exhibit huge numbers of objects and intertwine several operational software aspects for which a more methodic approach is required. The DOCASE project (Distribution and Objects in CASE) was established to identify fundamental elements of such a method approach
