ETHEREALIZATION - 2 reference results
Etherealization
Etherealization is a term coined by R. Buckminster Fuller in 1938, in reference to the trend of physical nature toward informational abstraction.

Since then, the term has acquired a number of other meanings, similar in general flavor.

In CORBA, it denotes the act of destroying the association between a CORBA object and its servant, after which the object continues to virtually exist, but cannot process any requests. The opposite action is incarnation.

See also: virtualization.
