On Developing a Theory of Distributed Computing: Summary of Current Research.

Abstract

The paradigms of theory can be applied to the problems of concurrency and distribution to yield a rich mathematical theory which will provide a solid framework for practitioner and theoretician alike to use in gaining greater understanding of the exciting and important area of distributed computing. The author is currently engaged in an effort to develop such a theory. This paper summarizes work to date and indicates directions for further research. (Author)
