From FMS: Forces Modeling and Simulation Handout JSU HPC Summer Institute for Undergraduates, Jackson MS -- June 15 1998. by Wojtek Furmanski, Subhash Nair, Tom Pulikal
1 Java with its mobile code facility handles inter-object communications within its native environment.
  • The Java RMI and Java Serialization interfaces allow Java-Objects to migrate around the network, heedless of what hardware platform they land on, and then control each other remotely.
2 Only the Java Programming language has an inverse mapping to IDL.
  • This allows the programmer to stay in the Java world during the developmental stage of distributed applications.
3 Convergence of Object models.
  • Support for the notion of abstract interfaces distinct from implementations or classes
  • Interface inheritance mechanisms are mostly identical.
