A communication method and system configured to facilitate integration of complex automation systems composed of disparate components that may run with different processes are distributed over a network or are embedded devices. The system/method allows for a client to rapidly access functionality exposed by a service within a client-service system employing a distributed application structure utilizing an augmented object-oriented model of multiple member types. The system/method allows interconnected nodes to communicate through message passing and remote procedure calling so as to reduce latency within a system composed of distributed resources.
