In distributed environments, location control of objects among hosts is a crucial concern. This paper proposes a new mechanism of object location control using meta-level programming which provides the following advantages to programmers. First, the description of location control can be separated from the application program by exploiting the meta-level architecture. This separation makes it easy...
Research has shown that metalevel architectures and the concept of reflection are useful for modifying programming systems dynamically in a controlled way. To modify the system flexibly, it is necessary to represent various abstraction levels, from the programing language level to the OS level, as well as user's multiple views, such as the view where the distributed environment is transparent and...
