Hi,

Basically I am looking for a unified library in Boost that will also me to

handle and dispatch

events and also allow communication between processes on a local pc and also a remote pc. Is there such a boost library?

Maybe RCF would be of use to you. It makes use of a number of boost libraries, in paticular the asio and serialization libraries. http://www.codeproject.com/threads/Rcf_Ipc_For_Cpp.asp

Does it support communication from a local pc to a remote pc? Yes

Does it support handling and dispatch of events? Depends on what you mean. Have a look at the publish/subscribe mechanism.

Does it support marshalling/unmarshalling of user-defined types? Yes.
