Abstract
Presents a configuration language based approach to the description and construction of distributed multiuser applications. The authors describe the facilities of the configuration language DARWIN which permit the description of multiuser applications in a manner identical to normal configuration-based parallel or distributed programs. The implementation platform, REX, is described, as is Conf, a distributed conferencing programs which, while simple, illustrates several of DARWIN´s important and powerful features.<>
