Abstract

In a previous paper, we developed an algebraic theory of threads, interleaving of threads, and interaction of threads with services. In the current paper, we assume that the threads and services are distributed over the nodes of a network. We extend the theory developed so far to the distributed case by introducing distributed interleaving strategies that support explicit thread migration and see to load balancing or capability searching by implicit thread migration. The extension to the distributed case provides insight into details of multi-threading that come up in a networked environment.
