Graceful Disconnection
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.

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.
