Rapid advances in communications technology and the proliferation of inexpensive PCs and workstations have created a wide avenue for distributed computing to move into mainstream computing. Distributed computing is no longer confined to research laboratories but is available to the mass community of

A clear separation of the programming of individual software modules from their configuration to form a system provides a sound basis for building flexible distributed systems which support modification and extension.
In recent years parallel computing systems based on a collection of a modest number (generally in the range of 16 to 1024) relatively high powered processors (such as those used in scientific workstations) have become commercially available. The current systems software for these computing systems r
Parallel and distributed computing on a cluster of workstations is being increasingly applied to a variety of large size computational problems. Several software systems have been developed that make distributed computing available to an application programmer. However, these systems either are not
