Abstract
A distributed object is hosted in a distributed system by invoking a global hash function on a generated name for the distributed object. The name for the distributed object is generated with knowledge of the global hash function so that the result of invoking the global hash function upon the name results in the selection of a predetermined node in the distributed system. The predetermined node may be selected based on the affinity of the node to the distributed object for reducing network messaging and communications overhead.
