Name management is so fundamental to every aspect of computing that it is
frequently overlooked or taken for granted.
Our research is aimed at developing both models to improve
understanding and mechanisms to improve practical application of
name management approaches in various computing domains.
One domain that seems to have particularly strong connections to name
management is object technology for advanced software.
Object technology has already proven very useful in our investigation of
name management models and mechanisms.
We also see great potential for beneficial application of improved name
management mechanisms to object technology for advanced software.
In this paper, we first outline our overall approach to research on name
management and discuss some specific name management concerns arising
in object technology for advanced software.
We then illustrate the application of object technology in our efforts to
construct name management models and mechanisms.
Finally we give an example of how enhanced name management mechanisms
might be incorporated into a representative instance of object technology for
advanced software.
