Abstract

Abstract: This paper presents the design of a communication state transfer protocol to support process migration in a dynamic, distributed computing environment. In our design, processes in distributed computation communicate one another via message passing and are migration-enabled. Due to mobility, mechanisms to maintain reliability and correctness of data communication are needed. Following an event-based approach, such mechanisms are derived to handle various communication situations when a process migrates. These mechanisms collectively preserve the semantics of the communication and support efficient communication state transfer.
