This research address the general problem of resource finding in                distributed systems.  The premise is that existing solutions to this            problem cannot be used, without a substantial performance penalty, in           systems where the location information needs to be updated rapidly or           when the system contains a large number of nodes.  The use of multicast         communication to reduce the cost of resource finding is investigated.           In broadcast networks, the algorithms to be explored will make use of           the hardware support provided for multicast in many network interfaces.         In point-to-point networks, the task is to formalize the notion of a            search algorithm and to study the problem of finding search algorithms          that minimize the average bandwidth or time when a probability                  distribution is defined for the location of a resource.  The problem of         implementing multicast communication in point-to-point networks is              studied.  Many of the algorithms for finding remote objects will be             implemented in the Clouds distributed operating system.
