Abstract
A system of communication between processes in a time-sharing system is described and the communication system is extended so that it may be used between processes distributed throughout a computer network. The hypothetical application of the system to an existing network is discussed.

MIKE: A Network Operating System for the Distributed Double-Loop Computer Network
This paper presents the framework and model of a network operating system (NOS) called MIKE for use in distributed systems in general and for use in the Distributed Double-Loop Computer Network (DDLCN) in particular. MIKE, which stands for Multicomputer ...
Hardware Support for Interprocess Communication
The use of a special-purpose coprocessor for supporting message passing is proposed. An actual message-based operating system is partitioned into computation and communication parts, executing, respectively, on a host and a message coprocessor which ...
A computer network monitoring system
In order to help satisfy'an apparent need for tools for monitoring the activities of a computer network (see Mamrak [1]), a system of special hardware and software, called a Computer Network Monitoring System (CNMS), is being implemented in the' ...
