Abstract

A computing environment in the next decade will be widely distributed, openended, and ever-changing. We are developing a few computational models/paradigms in order to give possible foundations for computation in such an environment. The Computational Field Model is proposed to provide the fundamental framework based on the notion of concurrent objects. Cooperative computing and distributed constraint satisfaction are then proposed to serve as computational paradigms in the computational field. The Muse operating system is being developed to provide users with a flexible and self-advancing distributed computational environment through the proposed models/paradigms. The Muse operating system is equipped with a reflective architecture and class system, and supports object migration and portable/mobile computers.
