From MetaComputing -- MRA Meeting Part I:Concepts and Issues Tutorial for CRPC MRA Meeting at Cornell -- May 7 1996. by Mark Baker, Geoffrey Fox


Popular TCP/IP based protocols such as FTP or HTTP are supported in terms of network protocol classes.
This facilitates various forms of distributed processing. New protocols (e.g. PVM etc.) can added and dynamically installed.
Distributed computing model of Java is mainly client-server, with Java compiler preparing the opcodes at the server side, and Java interpreter executing it at the client side.
One can expect more dynamic uses of Java with Java threads on both Server and Client side communicating with each other.
