Step1 : server program developers implement server programs and register the server objects in Information Repository of DOGF by using Server Programming Developer GUI. client program developer searches the group information including server objects’ Step 2-3 : client program developer searches the group information including server objects’ properties and requests their access rights to an DOGF for invoking service objects needing. Then he develops distributed program using the granted service objects obtaining the server object’s reference from the DOGF Step 4 : obtaining the server object’s reference from the DOGF client program requests the service to the server object Step 5 : client program requests the service to the server object
