Further Information

Several load balancing schemes are recently proposed for distributed object computing systems, which are widely envisioned to be the desired distributed software development paradigm due to the higher modularity and the capability of handling machine and operating system heterogeneity. However, while the rationales and mechanisms employed are dramatically different, the relative strengths and weaknesses of these approaches are unknown, making it difficult for a practitioner to choose an appropriate approach for the problem at hand. In this paper, we describe in detail three representative approaches, which are all practicable, and present a quantitative comparison using our experimental distributed object computing platform. Among these three approaches, namely, JavaSpaces based, request redirection based, and fuzzy decision based, we find that the fuzzy decision based algorithm outperforms the other two considerably. ; published_or_final_version
