This is a new lab manual that provides exercises for
distributed virtual machines (in the Rotor context).
The distributed virtual machine technology is an important aspect
of contemporary, component-based commercial programming environments,
The technology is closely related to compilers, programming languages,
networks, and operating systems.
Nevertheless it does not yet merit its own course in computer science
curricula.
I believe that this lab manual provides exercises that will be useful
in many hands-on courses in these traditional disciplines.
