Abstract

Rapid updating of any application is necessary to permit iterative design and development. This task is significantly complicated when an application is distributed. Rather than using the traditional methods of software dissemination and installation, the GRANDiose Distributed Application System permits authorized programmers around a wide area network to install and operate systems at remote sites. This is done using the facilities of GRAND, a test bed for distributed applications. The system is in experimental use on various wide area networks and LANs.<>
