Object-stacking in the World-Wide Web

Object-stacking is a model for structuring object based systems. The main feature of object-stacking is that layers of objects with a uniform interface are constructed, and the functions of these objects are integrated. The effectiveness of object-stacking has been shown for file systems of distributed operating systems. The paper presents the application of the object-stacking model to the World-Wide Web, an information exploring/providing system on the Internet. Object-stacking gives powerful tools to information providers who use the World-Wide Web. The paper describes the implementation method of object-stacking in the World-Wide Web. The paper proposes the new concepts of demand stacking, virtual stackable objects, and pointer swizzling in the World-Wide Web.
