ABSTRACT = {By extending the low-level protocol used by the DICE system, an incremental programming environment for host-target development, it is possible to handle debugging of multiple processes distributed over multiple machines. In this document we define the interprocess communication primitives for distributed applications handled by such a system. We have chosen a message-based IPC facility, implemented using remote procedure calls in a Unix environment.The IPC primitives are defined on a procedure level. In addition to the functions related to IPC, we define functions for building a distributed system. These functions control creation and destruction of processes and communication links. They implement the PEPSy (Programming Environments for Parallel Systems) paradigm for structuring of distributed systems.},
