[e-lang] Distributed E systems

[Monty Zukowski]

There was mention in Miller's thesis "Robust Composition" about a  
distributed E application that copied objects across vats instead of  
proxying every object to it's original vat.  Does anyone have more  
information on this?

I'm helping architect a distributed, capability-discipline inspired  
Java application and right now we're dealing with how we want our  
proxies to work, especially with respect to trading off performance  
for reliability.  I'm pushing for a communicating event-loop model  
with promise objects, like E uses.  Right now we're trying to work  
out the communication details on how to propagate changes while still  
having a very responsive system.

Thanks,

Monty
