I have a design in mind, and would like to have comments on or references to any of the following areas: - monitors for distributed systems. - performance experiments that have been performed, or you would like to be able to perform, on distributed systems. - the structure of the SunOS 4.0 kernel. Please reply by email, I will post a summary. Thanks, Paul Ashton.
