Acknowledgments

We would like to thank Treasa O'Shaughnessy, Anne O'Shea and John O'Shea of IONA who helped us work through the technical problems we have encountered with OrbixWeb. We were unable to resolve the problem described in Section 5.1 without their help. We benefited from discussions with Ang Nguyen-Toung at the University of Virginia of how COPE might be implemented on Legion. The COPE architecture was developed by the authors and Ramanathan Krishnamurthy and Aleta Ricciardi, both of the University of Texas at Austin.
