✦ Synopsis

This paper presents a Java-based distributed computing environment (JDCE) model. First, a framework of the proposed JDCE model is described, and the processes for implementing the model are given, which can consist of three processes, i.e., ®nd process, connect process and locate process. The ®nd process belongs to the network-level protocol, and the connect process and locate process belong to the objectlevel protocols. The availability of the JDCE model for object-oriented network programming is then discussed. The availability and ef®ciency of the model have been veri®ed by illustrating an example. Finally, some remarks and conclusions are given. The study shows that the proposed JDCE model can raise the level of abstraction for network or distributed system programming, from the network protocol level to the object interface level. This model can make it unnecessary for the provider of software components or services to agree on network level protocols that allow their software components to interact, and provides a mechanism to enable smooth adding, removal, and ®nding of software components and services on the network.
