Local Vs Distributed Objects
Local and distributed objects differ in many respects. Here are some of them:
- Life cycle : Creation, migration and deletion of distributed objects is different from local objects
- Reference : Remote references to distributed objects are more complex than simple pointers to memory addresses
- Request Latency : A distributed object request is orders of magnitude slower than local method invocation
- Object Activation : Distributed objects may not always be available to serve an object request at any point in time
- Parallelism : Distributed objects may be executed in parallel.
- Communication : There are different communication primitives available for distributed objects requests
- Failure : Distributed objects have far more points of failure than typical local objects
- Security : Distribution makes them vulnerable to attack.

Famous quotes containing the words local, distributed and/or objects:
“This is the only “wet” community in a wide area, and is the rendezvous of cow hands seeking to break the monotony of chuck wagon food and range life. Friday night is the “big time” for local cowboys, and consequently the calaboose is called the “Friday night jail.””
—Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Taking food alone tends to make one hard and coarse. Those accustomed to it must lead a Spartan life if they are not to go downhill. Hermits have observed, if for only this reason, a frugal diet. For it is only in company that eating is done justice; food must be divided and distributed if it is to be well received.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“Philosophy, certainly, is some account of truths the fragments and very insignificant parts of which man will practice in this workshop; truths infinite and in harmony with infinity, in respect to which the very objects and ends of the so-called practical philosopher will be mere propositions, like the rest.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
