Abstract
An object-oriented system is comprised of a number of objects that work together to achieve a common goal. In a distributed system, these objects are distributed around a computer network to improve the overall performance or reliability of the system. However, care must be taken in the placement of the components because inappropriate assignment onto processors or subsystems can substantially degrade the performance of the system. The distribution process can be broken up into two stages, partitioning and allocation. Partitioning is the process of dividing the system into tasks; these tasks are then assigned to the system’s various processors in the allocation stage. This chapter describes a new approach to the distribution process and investigates the use of structural analysis as developed for social network analysis for making distribution process decisions.
