This paper presents a new algorithm for distributed garbage collection and outlines its implementation within the Network Objects system. The algorithm is based on a reference list...
Systems that store objects at a large number of sites require fault-tolerant and timely garbage collection. A popular technique is to trace each site independently using inter-sit...
Abstract. Grids are becoming more and more dynamic, running parallel applications on large scale and heterogeneous resources. Explicitly stopping a whole distributed application is...
: The memory management of distributed objects, when done manually, is an error-prone task. It leads to memory leaks and dangling references, causing applications to fail. Avoiding...
stractions underlying distributed computing. We attempted to keep our preaims at an abstract and general level. In this column, we make those claims more concrete. More precisely, ...
