Abstract
An integrated remote execution system manages resources and provides for the distributed and remote execution of remote requests to those resources in a heterogenous computer network environment that has a plurality of resources loosely coupled to each other. The resources include at least two or more computer processors executing different operating system programs and any memory devices and subordinate programs operating together with the computer processors. Three major components are integrated into a single system by providing for a common remote execution interface that is incorporated into the requesting application program to provide a single programming interface for making remote requests to the system, a separate resource management component to provide information about the various resources in the network, and a remote service routine that can be executed on any of the computer processors selected perform the remote request. The remote execution interface can have the user to determine the selection of which resources to use, or it can automatically make the selection of which resources to use. The resource management component utilizes a hybrid model for managing reso…
