(I believe it was also published in the Communications of the ACM.) It was a generalization of interprocess communication within a single computer.  I believe that at the time his proposal was too radical for the ARPAnet Network Working Group to consider seriously, and so far as I know it has never been implemented.  That is my question: has that concept, or something close, been implemented in the Internet or elsewhere?

9p (from Plan 9) comes to mind.  But pretty much any publish-subscribe 
message-passing protocol.  AQMP, 0MP.
