Remote operations across a network of small computers
Brent Nordin, Ian A. Macleod, T. Patrick Martin · 1986
This paper discusses the design of a Remote Operation Call (ROC) mechanism. ROCs are a generalisation of the remote procedure call concept. They provide for a wider variety of remote calls, such as asynchronous, directed and multicast calls. An implementation of ROCs on a network of personal computers is also described.
