Abstract
The advantages of distributed processing no longer need to be demonstrated. However, its realization imposes the requirement that we define the unit of distribution. With message-based middleware, this unit is the application itself since this middleware allows communication between applications. During the design of a new application, the problem of defining the unit of distribution occurs. Since programs are decomposed into procedures, they appear as the ideal candidates for distribution.
