Abstract : |
Current paradigms for interprocess communication are not sufficient to describe the exchange of information at an adequate level of abstraction. They are either too lowlevel, or their implementations cannot meet performance requirements. As an alternative, we propose distributed shared objects as a unifying concept. These objects offer user-defined operations on shared state, but allow for efficient implementations through replication and distribution of state. In contrast to other object-based models, these implementation aspects are completely hidden from applications., |
