Distributed software development through CLUSTER 86

CLUSTER 86, an object-oriented programming language, is introduced. It differs from similar languages by its all-out-of-nothing design philosophy: the language is only a frame, and everything appearing as object is defined by the languages users. The language itself introduces no built-in facilities specially oriented to distributed programming, but it has the ability to specifying various distributed activity models. A combinative distributed system family and a DBMS family have been developed. >
