Abstract

Process Originated Migration in a distributed system comprised of both Sun and MicroVax workstations is described. An introductory section characterizes distributed systems, distinguishes them from network systems, and summarizes existing work in process migration. The motivations for both process originated migration and heterogeneous migration are presented. The assumptions and design criteria as well as the design choices made for leverage, simplicity, and performance are provided. The design and its implementation are provided. Several extensions are presented and conclusions are drawn.
