Abstract

This paper discusses the RCO concept in the abstract. A companion paper, "Resource Coordination Objects: Service Design," describes a strawman implementation and discusses open issues in the design. DRAFT 2 The following sections describe why we feel an RCO-like protocol is needed, list the general goals we feel should govern the design of the mechanism, provide a strawman service specification, and outline the design of the RCO service. These sections are followed by a relatively complete example of how RCOs might be used to implement a higher-level protocol, some discussion on deployment-related issues, and a summary of the current status of our RCO work. 2 Motivation
