Abstract

We describe a service forlocating distributed objectsidentified 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. An object can change its contact points in the course of time, thus exhibiting migration behavior. We present a solution to finding an object’s contact points which is based on a worldwide distributed search tree that adapts dynamically to individual migration patterns.
