Abstract
This paper describes a simple implementation of an effortless networking system. On the analogy of the conventional computer’s bus architecture, we propose the concept “Virtual BUS”. In our approach, an application virtually expands its own local bus into the network and accesses various distributed computing resources as if they are on the local bus.We present a light-weight experimental system using the PVM message passing interface and evaluate our approach
