Do you have an Email address for Ms. Canestraro?  I had suggested to
her that she should look into MVC and ParcPlace's Objectworks (now
VisualWorks) for your products in March and had offered to develop a
front-end in the NeXT environment...

As for distributed MVC, I'm not aware of such a thing (other than a
client-server model).  Check on these related topics: groupware
support and highly-concurrent transaction management techniques.

  You should probably look at acouple of papers by hill, patterson, meeks
and rohall at Bellcore concerning an architecture for multi-user
applications called Abstraction-Link-View.  One of the papers (The ALV
Paradigm: Using Constraints to connect user interfaces to applications)
contains a comparison of ALV to MVC.  On this paper Ralph Hill's email
address is given as rdh@thumper.bellcore.com

Hope this is useful

I would be interested in any responses you get. I have a fully MVC architected a
pplication that will need to become distributed next year. There is an architect
ure called PAC that is suppose to deliver some of the hooks required.
