Abstract

The integration of new media types into open distributed systems presents a number of problems. The authors discuss these problems within the context of an experimental distributed multimedia system being designed at Lancaster. Object management is highlighted as being a vital component of their system, and they outline an approach to management termed management by exception. This approach is illustrated by considering the provision of persistence and location transparent invocation in the system
