A Location Service for Worldwide Distributed Objects
نویسندگان
چکیده
This position paper introduces the Globe object model for wide-area distributed systems and its location service. The location service provides transparency of location, migration, distribution, and replication of distributed objects. We present the architecture of the service and briefly discuss scalability.

A Model for Worldwide Tracking of Distributed Objects
We describe a service for locating distributed objects identified by location-independent object identifiers. An object in our model is physically distributed, with multiple active copies on different machines. Processes must bind to an object in order to invoke its methods. Part of the binding protocol is concerned with contacting the object, which offers one or more contact points. A contact ...
متن کاملSupporting Effective Caching in a Wide-Area Distributed Location Service
Globe is a wide-area distributed system that supports mobile objects. To track and locate objects, we use a worldwide distributed location service, implemented as a search tree. An object registers its current position by storing its address in a nearby leaf node of the tree. This knowledge propagates up to the top of the tree, so every object can be found from the root. Remote objects can cach...
متن کاملLocating Objects in Wide-Area Systems
Locating mobile objects in a worldwide system requires a scalable location service. An object can be a telephone or a notebook computer, but also a software or data object, such as a file or an electronic document. Our service strictly separates an object’s name from the addresses where it can be contacted. This is done by introducing a location-independent object handle. An object’s name is bo...

متن کاملExploiting Location Awareness for Scalable Location-Independent
We are building a wide-area location service that tracks the current location of mobile and replicated objects. The location service should support up to 1012 objects on a worldwide scale. To support this huge number of objects, the workload of the location service is distributed over multiple nodes. Our load distribution method is unique in that it is aware of the (geographical) location of no...
