Further developments in generating type-safe messaging
This work addresses the need for safe and efficient communication in distributed systems, but it is incremental as it builds on prior developments.
The paper tackles the problem of generating type-safe messaging for inter-process communication by extending a previously introduced source code generator, resulting in the addition of three more client languages, an optimization in network packet size, and a new protocol data type.
At ICALEPCS '09, we introduced a source code generator that allows processes to communicate safely using data types native to each host language. In this paper, we discuss further development that has occurred since the conference in Kobe, Japan, including the addition of three more client languages, an optimization in network packet size and the addition of a new protocol data type.
