 This tutorial chapter discusses how AmbientTalk virtual machines can discover and communicate with each other over the network.
-The integration of distribution was one of the main concerns in the design of AmbientTalk programming model. More specifically, as a distributed programming languages that adheres to the Ambient-Oriented Programming paradigm, AmbientTalk incorporates partial failures and discovery lookup facilities at the heart of its distributed programming model. Rather than creating stubs and skeletons to manage remote communications, AmbientTalk integrates them transparently to the developer thanks to its concurrency model based on actors and far references. Far references are in fact a vital feature of the distributed model of AmbientTalk that allows the language to be able to handle the so-called volatile connections featured in mobile ad hoc networks.  This chapter mainly explains the language abstractions to export and discover other remote objects, and handle partial failures. But first, let us start simply by showing how to enable the network functionality.
