WEA, a Distributed Object Manager Based on a Workspace Hierarchy

WEA is our implementation of a new architectural model for virtual memory access, the WorkSpace. It relies on a generalisation of client / server model and enables to build new distributed applications. The workspace supplies uniform access to a distributed persistent object store. This paper describes several ways of building multi-workspace architecture, and an implementation of this architecture. This implementation is based on new operating systems features.
