Résumé
When building distributed applications, one has to deal with many complex issues, some of which can be modeled as interacting distributed protocols. Modern operating systems already over communication facilities such as sockets or RPC-like abstractions, but they have proven to be too low-level or limited in scope. Furthermore, they lack the ability to seamlessly cope with failures. In this paper we claim that modeling protocols as reusable objects is a good way of structuring distributed systems, since robust protocol implementations and well-tested code reuse are key features in this context. We show how protocol objects can help to build new distributed protocols by composing existing ones, and that they add flexibility to distributed systems. We also give an overview of the design and implementation of BAST, our extensible library of protocol objects.
