Summary:With mobile computers, and increasingly mobile users, a new paradigm for integrated execution must be developed. An environment in which users may move freely among machines and may move machines freely from place to place, is described. In such an environment, a workstation is essentially a computer that temporarily provides windows and processing power to a user. The specific implications of mobility, i.e., window systems, process management, internet user naming, network software, and server reconfiguration are discussed
