The term '''distributed objects''' usually refers to [[software module]]s{{disambiguation needed}} that are designed to work together, but reside either in multiple [[computer]]s connected via a [[Computer network|network]] or in different [[Process (computing)|processes]] inside the same computer. One object sends a message to another object in a remote machine or process to perform some task. The results are sent back to the calling object.
 
The term may also generally refer to one of the extensions of the basic [[object (computer science)|object]] concept used in the context of distributed computing, such as ''replicated objects'' or ''live distributed objects''.
