Improving access, reliability and efficiency of a distributed operating system using replicated distributed object abstraction

Abstract

This paper presents an alternative distributed operating system architecture based on the concept of replication of distributed objects. A complete or partial copy of distributed object's state is placed in each node where the object is used. Replication algorithms ensure copy coherence. For each object the most efficient access algorithm, taking its semantics into account, can be applied. This makes our proposed architecture a convenient platform for developing reliable distributed application.
