ISIS - A Reliable Distributed Programming Toolkit	[1 February 1986]

DESCRIPTION

The ISIS Distributed Programming Toolkit provides C and Fortran and
Lisp programmers with tools for developing reliable distributed
applications.  ISIS implements a simple yet powerful model of
distributed computation called 'virtual synchrony' in which complex
distributed events appear to occur one-at-a-time, in synchrony.  In
reality many events are happening concurrently, exploiting the
parallelism of the distributed computing environment.

ISIS consists of language libraries and utility software which uses the
TCP/IP, UDP protocols by default, and can be extended to use other
protocols (on MACH systems, ISIS uses MACH IPC for intra-machine
message passing by default).  ISIS is available on a wide range of
Unix-compatible computers.  The ISIS toolkit is in the public domain.
