Abstract

Distributed object systems (DOS) are usually implemented as middleware which repeats and undoes a significant amount of work performed by the underlying operating system [3]. This introduces overhead and leads to distinct, incompatible middleware implementations. Therefore, basic mechanisms are not usually shared. If mobility and replication rely on common techniques and mechanisms no matter the application domain, why are these mechanisms not shared?
