Load management for distributed object-oriented environments

This paper presents a load management concept for distributed object-oriented environments. The focus is on system level load management, i.e. the integration of load management into the runtime system or the middleware. This paper discusses the special requirements of load management for distributed object-oriented environments. Based on the requirements, the components of a load management service are explained. Finally, an implementation of the load management concept for the CORBA middleware architecture is presented.
