Abstract

In this paper, I have presented a paradigm based on Smart-Messages. A Smart-Message is a message that carries intelligence in the form of a program element. The paper discusses the anatomy of a Smart-Message along-with its application in solving two of the important problems in distributed systems: Leader election problem and Mutual exclusion problem.
