Recently, I posted a request for information on papers and research
relating to RPC's. I received many responses, including a number asking
me to summarise the result. Here goes :-

The "classic" paper
Implementing Remote Procedure Calls

ACM Transactions on Computer Systems, Vol.2, No.1, February 1894,pp 39-59.

Rajdoot: A remote procedure call mechanism supporting orphan detection and 
killing.      Panzieri and Shrivastava
IEEE Transactions on software engineering, Vol.14, No.1, Jan 88.

The design of a reliable RPC mechanism.
Shrivastava and Panzieri
IEEE Transations on computers, Vol.C-31, No.7, July 1982.

Failure transparency in RPC's.
Ravindran and Chanson,
IEEE Transactions on computers, Vol.38, No.8, August 1989.

A Stub generator for multilanguage RPC in heterogeneous environments,

Research, look out for the Eden Project, Clouds Project and Sprite. Details of
the last two were in the research summary posted last month.

Thanks to everyone who replied,  any more information still appreciated.
