Natural Communication with Computers. Volume III. Distributed Computation Research at BBN
William R. Sutherland, Robert Thomas · 1974
Abstract : This report describes research activities in distributed computation at BBN from July 1971 to October 1974. The objectives of this research in distributed computation are threefold: to identify and understand fundamental problems of computing in a distributed, multi-computer environment; to determine the impact of communications networks on computer systems; and, to develop techniques which enable convenient and effective use of the resources distributed throughout a computer network.
