IS2103 A Dist Computing 1

This document discusses distributed computing and the model-view-controller (MVC) pattern. It introduces distributed object architecture with stubs, skeletons, and business objects. Remote method invocation (RMI) allows remote objects to communicate over a network using stubs and skeletons. The document outlines the steps to develop RMI applications, including defining remote interfaces, implementing servers, generating stubs and skeletons, starting the registry, and running client and server applications.
