Abstract :
We present the object oriented design of a software system called NETMAN to experiment distributed algorithms on a large network of workstations. The design has been structured into three layers and a central monitoring site. We have implemented the system in Java. Two asynchronous communication primitives, SEND and RECEIVE, have been implemented using Java´s remote method invocation mechanism. As an example, we executed a distributed mutual exclusion algorithm on a network of 60 workstations, and measured its performance under various scenarios
