In [[distributed programming]], a '''portable object''' is an [[object (computer science)|object]] which can be accessed through a normal [[method (computer science)|method]] call while possibly residing in memory on another [[computer]]. It is portable in the sense that it moves from machine to machine, irrespective of [[operating system]] or [[computer architecture]]. This mobility is the end goal of many [[remote procedure call]] systems.
