Abstract data groups: structuring distributed programs as layers
Sanjay Gadkari · 2003
Processes that cooperate in a binary fashion and hierarchical compositions of these are a popular structuring concept for distributed programming. The issue of modularizing distributed programs is discussed, and a modularization mechanism, abstract data groups (ADGs), is introduced. Examples are used to show why ADGs are useful and to indicate problems with previous methods. A comparison with related work is also presented.>
