Abstract :
Transparency, minimal interference, minimal residual dependencies, efficiency and robustness are some of the features that are felt necessary for process migration mechanisms in distributed operating systems. None of the process migration mechanisms proposed so far possess all these features. In the paper the authors describe a process migration mechanism that possesses all the features mentioned above. This process migration mechanism has been developed as a part of the GALAXY distributed operating system
