This paper presents a distributed N-body method based on an adaptive collaborative system model. The collaborative system is formed by the distributed objects on a distributed system. The system can be reconfigured during the computation to fully utilize the computing power of the networked hosts. The method is implemented in Java and RMI to support distributed computing in heterogeneous environment. A distributed tree structure is designed for communication-efficient computation of N-body method. The performance test shows satisfactory speedup and portability of the method on both homogeneous and heterogeneous clusters. The collaborative system model can be used in various applications and it is expandable to wide-area environment.
