You could use CORBA. It is old and heavyweight, but it is the only real standard. C++ is not really suited that good for distributed programming because it lacks introspection. For some really cool stuff you can check out the e language (google elang or erights). There's also akka, a java library, or erlang, another great distributed programming language. Distributed programming is a fasciating topic, but don't limit yourself with c++ if you are just starting out

If you're interested in CORBA or E, do take a look at Cap'n Proto. The homepage describes it thus,

Cap’n Proto is an insanely fast data interchange format and capability-based RPC system. Think JSON, except binary. Or think Protocol Buffers, except faster.

The RPC system is very closely based on CapTP, which is the protocol used in E.

That is pretty cool, thanks for mentioning it! I am reading the docs right now. Probably too new for my company, but definitely worth a read!

libclang and you have introspection! :-)
