How to Use One Name for Many Sites?

摘要

"Name" is an important identifier that is used globally. Without names, people cannot indicate things easily. However, in the real world, people may want to use the same name to identify many objects such as a university uses the same university name for every campus. Unfortunately that this need does not fully support in the existing naming system in the computer world. If we consider seriously, we will find that there are three limitations and drawback of the current naming system: uniqueness, scalability, and anonymity have been occurred. Therefore, this paper proposed a new architecture of the naming system called Sharable Name System (SNS) that solves all limitations of the current naming system, supports and maintains the unity of the organizations using one name for various objects. Thus, using this architecture the limitation for setting names will be eliminated.
