6. Conclusion
The remote procedure call (or its equivalent in the object world: the remote method call) is a structuring model used to describe the interaction between two software components that communicate by exchanging messages. One of the two components, the client, initiates the dialog and remains blocked while the other component, the server, processes the request.
This model is probably the most widely used today for implementing distributed applications. The main reason for this success is that the remote procedure call strives to reproduce, for a distributed environment, the conditions of a local procedure call — both in terms of the programming model and the execution model. Throughout this article, we have shown that this goal of semantic compatibility between remote and local procedure calls is difficult, if not impossible,...
