Abstract

This paper is a discussion of a methodology, a distributable information system model, and an experiment used to identify potential problems for supporting such a system. The experimental model was designed and implemented in an evolutionary manner for the purpose of studying the feasibility of a system with the postulated attributes. Incentives for distribution and design of the study introduce the two main topics--the study model itself and the implementation of the study model. Results of the study provide insights into such factors in distributed information system structural design as intercomponent communication, system control, and recovery philosophy.
