Distributed network application management system

摘要

The distributed network application management system provides distributed data processing services in a data communication network environment. This system dynamically allocates resources to a processing request that is received from a user application device that has limited processing capabilities using application modules that are machine-independent and network independent to thereby process the received request in the network, yet in a manner that appears to be implemented on the user application device. The distributed network application management system is implemented in a network environment using a kernel that represents the network protocol and the effective processor is dynamically created in the network as capacity becomes available. The applications in this system are distributed via the network without meta code being written for the application. There is no socket layer and the various modules necessary to execute a process are dynamically loaded into the execution stream as needed by the network operating system. The operating system organizes the resources and creates the name space to bring the resources to bear on the present computing problem using the mount and bind paradigms.
