Migration of active objects in proactive

ProActive, which supports active objects as the basic units of activity and distribution used for building applications using ProActive, is a Java library for parallel, distributed and concurrent computing. In this paper, we discuss an important distribution function—migration of objects—that is not readily available in many systems designed for implementing distributed applications. The migration is done in a scalable and secure way based-on ProActive. It has the ability to easily migrate computation, especially in heterogeneous environments. Moreover, it can be used for dynamic load balancing and dynamic deployment purposes to gain improved performance and flexibility of distributed applications.
