Tarazi, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, M.I.T., 20 June 1989. Also, the Institute for Research in Information and Scholarship (IRIS; perhaps best known for Intermedia) of Brown University (Providence RI) has more recently started doing research in distributed coordination too. They are developing a distributed information management system based on active agents ("Envoys"), which can be used to coordinate the activities of various "link-aware" applications and data objects in a hypermedia-like way. Anyone who's interested should contact Nicole Yankelovich there. -- Steven Litvintchouk MITRE Corporation Burlington Road Bedford, MA 01730 Fone: (617)271-7753 ARPA: sdl@mitre-bedford.arpa UUCP: ...{att,decvax,genrad,ll-xn,philabs,utzoo}!linus!sdl "Those who will be able to conquer software will be able to conquer the world." -- Tadahiro Sekimoto, president, NEC Corp.
