Robert Thomas, Schaffner,Stuart C · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1976
This report describes the communication facility, named MSG, which was developed to support interprocess communication for the implementation of the National Software Works (NSW). The more important of the processes which comprise NSW and the pattern of communication which those processes require are described. Next from those patterns a model of interprocess communication which is sufficient for NSW is abstracted. Finally, the details of the MSG facility itself are developed. (Author)
