Abstract
A critical aspect of a robust, scalable architecture for distributed
computing is the relationship between participating platform nodes.
Other software systems such as DCE have been limited by the fixed
hierarchical server relationships and the difficulty in dynamically and
automatically adding new platforms to or removing platforms from a
running system. We discuss the implications of retaining a serverless
architecture or a peer-to-peer relationship between all participating
nodes in the DISCWorld system. We describe the issues that arise in
implementing this using Java and object-oriented software
technologies.
