Network of workstation (NOW) is a cost-effective alternative to massively parallel supercomputers. As commercially available off-the-shelf processors become cheaper and faster, it is now possible to build a PC or workstation cluster that provides high computing power within a limited budget. However

In this paper, we will propose a causal broadcast protocol for distributed mobile systems. Since the mobile hosts are in general unspecified majority, and the computational capability and communication capability are considerably inferior to the static hosts, an algorithm is desired whose computatio
## Abstract Distributed computing systems are a viable and less expensive alternative to parallel computers. However, a serious difficulty in concurrent programming of a distributed system is how to deal with scheduling and load balancing of such a system which may consist of heterogeneous computer
