A rapid prototyping system for distributed information system applications

The development of a distributed program is not an easy task. In this paper, we present a set of rapid prototyping tools that can efficiently help the development process of remote procedure call (RPC)-based programs. After some introduction in the first section, we describe the structure of our prototyping tools in the second section. The tool-set consists of three generators: the distributed frame generator, the user interface generator, and the application model generator. Three sections are devoted to describing these generators. The last part of the paper presents a prototyping example using our tool-set and summarizes the paper.
