This paper describes an experimental "distributed" programming system which makes it possible to create multi-computer programs and to run them on computers connected by the ARPA computer network (ARPANET).1 The programming system, which is called McROSS (for Multi-Computer Route Oriented Simulation System), is an extension of a singlecomputer simulation system for modelling air traffic situati...

computer. An abstract computer consists of communication channels that can be used to communicate with every other abstract computer in the system. It also contains an application manager that manages the applications running in the system. A computer in a network can represent a node or multiple nodes can exist on one computer. A Distributed Act++ environment provides dedicated actors for comm...

A fundamental problem in distributed computing environments involves determining whether a remote computer system can be trusted to autonomously access secure resources via a network. In this paper, we describe a means by which a remote computer system can be challenged to demonstrate that it is genuine and trustworthy. Upon passing a test, it can be granted access to distributed resources and ...
