Abstract
According to the present invention, an apparatus and method for creating new objects “near” existing objects is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a desirable location for the new object is determined by making a series of observations and system level decisions. By examining the system parameters and creating new objects in physical locations where other, related objects currently reside, system performance in object-oriented systems can be greatly increased.
