Abstract:Scalability is an important issue in the construction of distributed systems. Shared object spaces provide an elegant and easy-to program abstraction for building applications. However, existing shared object spaces have been realized at the cluster level. Use of centralized components, lack of effective failure handling mechanisms, lack of efficient object lookup mechanisms as well as consistency maintenance are the key issues that inhibit scalability of existing shared object spaces. We present the case stud… Show more
