Abstract
In the present invention, a method of programming a task by different programmers for operation by computers is disclosed. The task is divided into a plurality of processes with each process being programmed by a different programmer. A plurality of unique objects is defined for each process. One or more phantom objects are created in a process for use by that process (calling process), wherein upon access by the calling process, the phantom object communicates with the process (called process) having the defined object associated with the phantom object. The defined object is then accessed by the called process and the result is communicated back to the phantom object to the calling process.
