1 Distributed Object Management

Future information processing environments will consist of a vast network of heterogeneous, autonomous, and distributed computing resources, including computers (from mainframe to personal), information-intensive applications, and data (files and databases). A key challenge in this environment is providing capabilities for combining this varied collection of resources into an integrated distributed system, allowing resources to be flexibly combined, and their activities coordinated, to address challenging new information processing requirements. In this paper, we describe the concept of distributed object management, and identify its role in the development of these open, interoperable systems. We identify the key aspects of system architectures supporting distributed object management, and describe specific elements of a distributed object management system being developed at GTE Laboratories.
