Introduction audio) are being integrated with traditionally " d i g i t a l " technologies (data communications). ¢ Management of processes or data. Both "centralized" and "decentralized" schemes were espoused, with emphasis on underlying hardware conditions (such as the physical distribution of equipment, network topology and the notion of "mobility"). ¢ Many applications need to manage very large data volumes (including video frames/images as data). ¢ Data "sharing" among processes in a way that allows processes to "collaborate" in problem solving, or support mobile or portable computing. ¢ Problems associated with the impact of "time"
