Abstract
We discuss a novel object-based locking (OBL) protocol to lock replicated objects by extending the traditional quorum-based protocols to objects with abstract methods. If a pair of methods op1 and op2 are compatible, the summation of the quorum numbers of op1 and op2 is not larger than the number of replicas in the OBL protocol. We propose, for the first time, a version vector to identify what methods are performed on a replica. The replicas exchange compatible methods using the version vector
