Distributed Objects

The idea: Let the object reside anywhere, transparently.
To distribute applications easily. No need to develop a new protocol.
- To distribute resources: data, CPU power, physical constraints, etc.
- Redundancy.
- To be near user for faster access.
No need to add new messages or design a new language.
No need to deal with data conversion.
Make re-distribution easier.
Make it easier to change where the split (between what's local and what's remote) happens at a later time.
Its easier to implement fine-level security and access restrictions.
