MOVING OBJECTS IN A DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

A method for moving objects in a distributed computing system is provided that comprises receiving a move indication (224) at a mobility facet object (206) that is aggregated with a primary facet object (204) through an aggregate object (202) located at a current host address and port number (222). A new aggregate object (246) with the new version (242) of the primary facet object (204) as a new primary facet object (248) and the new version (236) of the mobility facet object (206) as a new mobility facet object (250) are created at a new host address and port number (234).
