Distributed port extension - developer needed

[petervanroy]

Dear all,
I am looking for a developer to implement a distributed port extension to Mozart 2. This should look to the programmer like a standard port, except that the send and receive are on different processes. Any stateless data should be transferable (including functors, procedures, and names). A simple Connection module (creation of distributed ports), a simple failure detection (permFail and tempFail) and simple distributed GC (reference counting of remote ports) should be implemented, to support long-lived distributed applications. In the context of the First Spinoff project UsiDistrib, we have a budget to hire an engineer to implement this. If you are interested, please contact me or Jérémie Melchior.
