I couldn't get mail to you, so I'll shout.

Write to the University of Washington Computer Science Department and ask for
everything they've got on Eden, Emerald, and their heterogeneous network stuff.
Eden is an operating system and Emerald is a programming language.  Both are
distributed and object-oriented.

Another thing you should look at is the Argus system from MIT.  Barbara Liskov
is the primary person behind this work.  It is a distributed extension to (or
environment for) the object-oriented CLU programming language.

These should give you a start.  Good luck.
