Anonymous Remote Computing for C# over .NET platform

Introduction

Anonymous remote computing is a framework to support development of parallel programs over a cluster of workstations in presence of heterogeneity, load and failures. The participating nodes may join and leave the system dynamically. The framework is modelled using object oriented analysis and design techniques, and also uses object oriented implementations. The ARC frameowrk capabilities are anonymity in node selection, service orientation, mobility and remoting in distributed scenario, horse power factor services,fault tolerant service, multiple hopping, retraction service and disconnected operations. The framework is available for both LAN and Internet.

ARC Architecture.
