pass-by-copy

Pass-by-copy referes to one of the two major ways arguments are passed to methods (the other is pass-by-reference). In a pass-by-copy scheme, arguments are always copied when they are passed, so that changeing the value of argument in the callee does not effect the value of the caller's variable. This is particularly important to Babel RMI, where object can be passed either by copy or reference.
