Description/Abstract

A distributed object system allows objects to be communicated from site to site disregarding their physical locations. Communicating objects often leaves a trail homing to the site that owns the original object. To shortcut these trails reduces the number of ``zombies'' i.e., sites that are part of the trail but do not need the object for themselves. This paper proposes an algorithm that allows a site to disconnect gracefully that is, without global network synchronization and therefore quickly. This algorithm focuses on the proper treatment of zombies.
