Abstract

this paper, we use the term mobile object to collectively refer to any component - implemented in hardware, software, or a combination thereof- that is capable of changing locations. We assume that a mobile object can be distributed or replicated across multiple locations, meaning that there may be several locations where the object resides at the same time. This can be the case, for example, with a whiteboard application shared between a number of mobile users. The existence of (worldwide) mobile objects introduces a location problem: The need for a scalable facility that maintains a binding (i.e., a mapping) between an object's permanent name and its current address(es). Such facilities are normally offered by wide-area naming systems such as the Internet's Domain Name System (DNS) [9], DEC's Global Name Service (GNS) [10], and the X.500 Directory Ser- vice [11]
