At the University of Rochester the computer science department has had six years of experience in the design and implementation of a multiple-machine, multiple network distributed system called RIG. Rochester's Intelligent Gateway (RIG) [1,2,3] is a dual processor gateway which connects three computer networks to provide convenient access to a wide range of computer facilities. RIG was built to serve as an intermediary between the human user (working through a display terminal or personal computer) and a variety of computer systems. The bulk of the user's computational requirements is met by these systems, which are either partially integrated into the RIG system through a fast local network or loosely coupled to it through the ARPANET. RIG also provides a number of basic services such as printing, plotting, local file storage, and support for a number of display terminals.
