Abstract
The extension of the ISIS distributed programming system to
support large-scale distributed applications by providing hierarchical
process groups is discussed. The present version of ISIS is limited to
relatively small-scale applications, containing fewer than 50
workstations. The principal idea is to incorporate hierarchy in the
program structure and exploit this to limit the communication and
storage required in any one component of the distributed program. This
approach seeks to maintain the advantages of virtual synchrony, while
controlling those costs that grow as the size of a distributed
application increases
