This report is Dot intended as a. survey in the fieJd of remote procedure calls. Neither do we claim it to be complete in some way or a.nother. What we do claim is that we present the reader the major principles of remote procedure call design. We start off by investigating those principles that seem to be most generally applicable. These principles are illustrated by a. number of rather different, but equally beautiful examples. One example is the Rajdoot protocol of Shrivistava and Pa.nz.ieri, that is in some respect complete. Another example is the REX protocol of Otway and Oskiewicz, tha.t perhaps is less complete, but certainly not less elegant. Although these two protocols originated from different starting points, they do share some important characteristics. These common characteristics emerged from the common design principles discussed in the introduction.
