Abstract
Integration based on low-level interoperability of autonomous software components causes a number of problems which hurt both user productivity and performance. In this paper, we propose an object-oriented foundation for architecturing next-generation desktop computing systems which should reduce, if not eliminate, these problems. This foundation provides extensible, protected and transparent management of distributed persistent objects. We use the example of next- generation hypermedia systems to illustrate our design choices. We also report on our computing environment prototype which implements solutions to some of the issues facing this foundation. 1 Introduction A major requirement of advanced desktop computing systems is integration of various computing resources, including applications, software tools and heterogeneous information, within a distributed environment. The applications are typically data-intensive, complex (decision-support, computer aided activities, etc.) and requ...
