Abstract :
Summary form only given, as follows. With the increasing speed of computers and communication linlts, and the successful convergence of both fields, computers connected by high speed links now represent an enormously large distributed computing system. However, current information distributed system architectures are too rigid to cope with heterogeneity, inaccuracy and inflexibility of the real world requirements. In order to overcome such limitations, in this talk, we present Post Modem Distributed System based on Flexible Network using the concept of Flexible Computing proposed by the authors. We first give the outline of the Flexible Computing and the basic architecture of Flexible Network based on multi-agent systems. Then the characteristics of Modem Distributed Systems based on Flexible Network will be discussed. As application examples, we will show a virtual office and flexible video conference system.
