An environment physically distributed in Java

This paper presents an environment for developing distributed applications. It consists basically of adding to Java language a library to manipulate shared objects, according to a methodology of distributed shared memory-DSM without cache. Shared objects are instances of classes that are data structures (lists, queues and stacks of objects). The environment provides a mechanism of hybrid load balancing among computers and tolerance to faults. The proposed environment has been tested and the results have shown that machines of low cost can be of high performance
