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:
“The improved American highway system ... isolated the American-in-transit. On his speedway ... he had no contact with the towns which he by-passed. If he stopped for food or gas, he was served no local fare or local fuel, but had one of Howard Johnson’s nationally branded ice cream flavors, and so many gallons of Exxon. This vast ocean of superhighways was nearly as free of culture as the sea traversed by the Mayflower Pilgrims.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Indiana was really, I suppose, a Democratic State. It has always been put down in the book as a state that might be carried by a close and careful and perfect organization and a great deal of—[from audience: “soap”Ma reference to purchased votes, the word being followed by laughter].
I see reporters here, and therefore I will simply say that everybody showed a great deal of interest in the occasion, and distributed tracts and political documents all through the country.”
—Chester A. Arthur (1829–1886)
“We have good reason to believe that memories of early childhood do not persist in consciousness because of the absence or fragmentary character of language covering this period. Words serve as fixatives for mental images. . . . Even at the end of the second year of life when word tags exist for a number of objects in the child’s life, these words are discrete and do not yet bind together the parts of an experience or organize them in a way that can produce a coherent memory.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
