Replicating data objects onto servers across a system can alleviate access delays. The selection of data objects and servers requires solving a constraint optimization problem, wh...
Developing a distributed application is hard due to the complexity inherent to distributed communication. Moreover, distributed object communication technology is always changing,...
Increasingly, Internet-level distributed systems are oriented as much toward information access as they are toward computation. From computer-supported collaborative work to peer-...
