I'm a fan of the techniques as described in : http://smile.amazon.com/Expert-Business-Objects-Books-Profes...

Basically, it uses the underlying runtime to serialize the entire object to the other machine. The theory being, if object oriented programming ties data to functions, why not ship both over the wire?

It works really well with the micro-services paradigm.

Not exactly a 100% solution, but it does solve the issues at least among the languages the runtime supports.
