An approach to distribution of object-oriented applications in loosely coupled networks

摘要

With the move to distributed systems and an increasing emphasis on the use of object-orientation for new system design, effective distribution of object-ori- ented applications is becoming an important concern for designers. Early research in this are has focused on object-clustering schemes for shared memory configurations that have limited value to business applications, which must be distributed over loosely coupled networks. These applications also exhibit the properties of simple structural relationships and a large number of instance, demanding approaches closer to frag- mentation and allocation instead of clustering.
