Here are a set of papers and reports related to object (and process) migration. They are ordered in such a way that the first few papers would give a beginner an overall picture of the issues involved in object migration, while the latter dig deep into these issues giving specific examples of implementations. This page will be updated as my project evolves.

  1. D.Milojicic, M.Condict, F.Reynolds, D.Bolinger, and P.Dale, "Mobile Objects and Agents", OSF Research Institute, 1996.
    The report describes the mobile objects project at OSF RI. Gives a brief outline of the issues involved in migration, the reasons why migration is not widely implemented, and suggests how the new advances in Web/Java address some of these problems.

  2. Marc Shapiro, Philippe Gautron, and Laurence Mosseri, "Persistence and Migration for C++ Objects," ECOOP'89, Nottingham(GB), Jul. 1989.
    Outlines the limitations in the C++ constructs (such as constructors, object allocation, and virtual functions) and suggests extensions, such as dynamic classes and dynamic instantiation, to ease the implementation of migration and persistence.
