Experiences on porting a Parallel Objects environment from a transputer network to a PVM-based system

Parallel Objects is a powerful model for distributed/parallel Object-Oriented programming. Goal of this paper is to present the approach adopted in porting the support of the Parallel Objects environment, originally implemented for a massively parallel architecture, onto the PVM environment, which is nowadays a de-facto standard in the design of distributed applications on heterogeneous networks of computers.
