Live Distributed Objects

Live Distributed Objects

• Enabling an Active Web for OIM Applications

• NEW IDEAS
• Live Distributed Objects
• New and very easy to use programming model
• Leverages power of COTS development platforms
• Managed framework Intrinsically more robust,
  secure
• Object type determines reliability properties
• Can model virtual synchrony, transactional 1SR,
  etc
• Domain-specific language compiles for high perf.
• Employs peer-to-peer ideas for scalability
• Were setting performance and scalability records!

• MILITARY IMPACT
• Slash development complexity for OIM apps
• Enables a drag-and-drop methodology!
• But can also support publish-subscribe paradigm
• View protocols as drivers
• Permits a new plug-and-play flexibility
• Examples include reliable multicast (QSM, QS/2),
  time-critical protocols (Ricochet, Maelstrom),
  Gossip Objects (GO), IPTV, wireless protocols,
  etc
• Quality of service comes for free
• Ricochet achieves record-setting real-time
  delivery
• Quicksilver scales far beyond any prior system
