ABSTRACT

Matchmaker, a language used to specify and automate the generation of interprocess communication interfaces, is presented. The process of and reasons for the evolution of Matchmaker are described. Performance and usage statistics are presented. Comparisons are made between Matchmaker and other related systems. Possible future directions are examined.
