[net.research] Dynamic Process Migration in Dist'd Systems

harbus@utcsri.UUCP (R.S. Harbus) (11/21/85)

	It seems that process migration is a popular topic of late.  I also
am interested in hearing from people, corporations, universities etc. that
have designed and implemented or just designed (or even thought about) dynamic
process migration for their environments/configurations.  

	I am willing to recieve any information you may wish to send regarding
your distributed operating system environment but in particular I am looking
for the decision processes included in the dynamic migration process ( things
such as When to migrate, Where to migrate, Who to migrate, do you have a 
centralized or distributed decision making process, etc. ).

	The justification for my request?  I am currently doing research in
dynamic process migration and am attempting to implement such a facility on
a locally designed operating system.

	If you have some information, I would really like to hear from you.
