Towards Generic and Middleware-Independent Support for Replicated, Distributed Objects
White Papers Replication is a commonly used approach to increase the availability of distributed services, which is a non-functional requirement. Thus, replication is in principle independent of the application logic.

Supporting Reconfigurable Object Distribution for Customized Web Applications
White Papers The authors view a Web application as a composition of actors, i.e.distributed active objects, and apply techniques of generative programming to develop a virtual application framework which separates the logic of objects from aspects relevant to...

Using Java Beans to handle business logic
News We use JavaBeans as data objects to pass back and forth between the server tiers. For example, depending upon our business needs, we can call EJB remotely from the presentation tier or locally from other plain-old Java objects (POJO) on the...

Is your application .Net ready?
News COM objects are supported under the .Net framework. However, due to performance degradation with COM object interoperability under .Net, you might want to consider migrating any COM objects to .Net framework-managed objects.

How to speak SAP's language
News In most SAP data-retrieval applications -- from report generation to user dialog to downline data flow -- you work with business objects that are essentially data records of mixed type. You can simplify database access considerably by using ABAP/4...

Put memory 'garbage' collection to good use
News In fact, Java only uses reference counting with distributed objects (i.e.remote method invocation), which is borrowed from Modula-3's Network Objects. If you keep track of which objects the program is referencing, those objects must still be needed.

Adaptive Load Balancing for DHT Lookups
White Papers The main characteristic is to associate nodes (peers) with objects (keys) and to construct distributed routing structures to support efficient location. These approaches partially consider the load problem by balancing storage of objects without...

DCOM Technical Overview
White Papers Microsoft's distributed COM (DCOM) extends the Component Object Model (COM) to support communication among objects on different computers-on a LAN, a WAN, or even the Internet. With DCOM, your application can be distributed at locations that make...
