The apparent complexity of distributed application development, especially in a heterogeneous environment, is the prime motivation for the network operating system kernel described in this paper. The kernel reduces this complexity by separating the distribution related issues form the application related ones. It provides an interface of generic objects and operations, which are able to take away from the application programmer most of the problems of distribution, access protection, resource management, and data representation
