This article presents an extension to CORBA to help programmers encapsulate parallel code in distributed objects. This extension, called PaCO (Parallel CORBA Object), hides most of the cumbersome problems associated with parallelism, while still allowing scalable communication between parallel CORBA objects.

Load balancing helps improve system scalability by ensuring that client application requests are distributed and processed equitably across a group of servers. Likewise, it helps improve system dependability by adapting dynamically to system configuration changes that arise from hardware or software failures.
