USC Distributed Problem Solving Group Meeting
Wednesday, 3/12/86 3:00 - 5:00 PM
Seaver Science 319
John Gieser, Ph.D. Student, USC, will speak on "'Intelligent'
Operating Systems for Distributed Computing".
ABSTRACT
Recent ideas from distributed problem solving (DPS) research appear
to have merit when used to acheive cooperation in open-ended
distributed computing systems (DCS). To use these techniques, the
DCS nodes are viewed as autonomous agents in a problem-solving
situation, with each node governed by an "intelligent" operating
system (IOS). This talk will focus on some ideas for providing the
structures and mechanisms needed in the IOS to handle problems
requiring cooperation such as distributed control, load
balancing/sharing, cooperating processes, etc.
