This works goal is the definition of a set of criteria to be used as a reference for evaluation and comparison of existing distributed object technologies. In particular the defined criteria are applied to the evaluation of: CORBA, DCOM and RMI but they can also be applied to other distributed object technologies or to compare implementations of a particular one. The results of the our evaluation are discussed and presented. Key words: distributed systems, distributed objects, CORBA, COM, DCOM, RMI.
