Abstract

By utilizing the parallelism and redundancy inherent in a network, a set of interacting processes could be made more effective. But this should not require the user to know the network details: the network should be transparent enough to allow him to treat it as a single entity rather than as a collection of computers. The concept of relocatable programs within a machine could be generalized to allow processes to be relocatable anywhere within the network. Then, several mappings could exist from a given set of processes to the set of computers in the network, with the final results being independent of the mapping used.
