“…Arias [7] provides the developer with a single address-space system based upon a 64-bit virtual address. The system itself does not enforce consistency among multiple copies of shared data but provides primitives which support synchronization.…”

“…Other projects [5][6][7] have aimed at providing flexibility by allowing customizability of consistency policies at the user level, but until now no project has fulfilled our vision of a complete customizable system where the developer may change all aspects of the shared memory from consistency policies through memory management to communication issues. Moreover, no other system that we are aware of provides this flexibility on a per-object basis, allowing mixed consistency models and coherency protocols to be used within a single application.…”

Recent distributed shared memory (DSM) systems provide increasingly more support for the sharing of objects rather than portions of memory. However, like earlier DSM systems these distributed shared object systems (DSO) still force developers to use a single protocol, or a small set of given protocols, for the sharing of application objects. This limitation prevents the applications from optimizing their communication behaviour and results in unnecessary overhead. A current general trend in software systems development is towards customizable systems, for example frameworks, reflection, and aspect-oriented programming all aim to give the developer greater flexibility and control over the functionality and performance of their code. This paper describes a novel object-oriented framework that defines a DSM system in terms of a consistency model and an underlying coherency protocol. Different consistency models and coherency protocols can be used within a single application because they can be customized, by the application programmer, on a per-object basis. This allows application specific semantics to be exploited at a very fine level of granularity and with a resulting improvement in performance. The framework is implemented in JAVA and the speed-up obtained by a number of applications that use the framework is reported

“…Consistency configuration and adaptation is a major objective for a target infrastructure intended to allow reuse of components with different replication scenarios. This conclusion has emerged after a considerable research on consistency showing the inexistence of a universal protocol [2], the insufficiency of application specific solutions [3] and the encouraging results on consistency adaptation [13]. Consistency should be therefore managed in the same way as replication: it should be part of the component's configuration and administration.…”

Traditionally applied to availability problems in various distributed computing domains (caching, fault-tolerance, disconnections), replication solutions remain difficult to implement and challenging to reuse. In this paper we propose a component-oriented approach in which replication is treated as a part of the configuration/reconfiguration aspect of an application. The approach allows an easy reuse of replication solutions and their integration through adaptation in existing distributed component-based services. We apply the approach to an implementation of the CORBA component model: OpenCCM.

“…The protection model described in the following was originally developed for a distributed shared memory system called ARIAS [6,4]. Our preliminary experiences with applications written for ARIAS and discussions with colleagues who develop the OLAN distributed application configuration language [1], has convinced us of its general applicability for software reuse.…”
