I've been thinking of a library that would bring RMI-like capabilities to C++ (RMI stands for Remote Method Invocation).
Primary goal, and differentiating feature, of this library is not to rely on IDL-like compiler, hence no cross-language support either -- if you need that, check out CORBA (www.omg.org) or ICE (http://www.zeroc.com).
Jarl Lindrud has done a lot of work on this already - see http://www.codeproject.com/threads/RMI_For_Cpp.asp While it uses boost and mpl techniques extensively it's not quite boost style. I'd be using it extensively but for the fact that it doesn't integrate well with our own code framework.
