<p>A distributed communication system comprising a number of nodes, comprising a number of resources, which nodes are interconnected by an interconnection network. Distributed applications are executed through sending messages between resources in said nodes. The resources are categorized into a number of function types wherein resources grouped into one and the same function type are functionally equivalent at least to a given extent so that a number of function type instances are provided for each function type. Each node comprises information holding means (11) keeping information about which function type instances correspond to a given function type and distribution functions (12) associated with said information holding means (11) for selecting a receiving function type instance among the available instances. A resource sending a message only has to give the function type as address information and the distribution function (12) selects which function type instance will be the receiver.</p> |
