Abstract :
The authors argue that immutability is a suitable base on which to build distributed software engineering environments. They discuss the various approaches to maintaining consistency in immutable object systems and compare D.P. Reed´s model of time domain addressing (ACM Trans. Comput. Syst., vol.1, no.1, p.3-23, Feb. 1983), with their own model of domain relative addressing. They demonstrate the suitability of domain relative addressing for use in distributed-software engineering environments
