TL;DR: The continuing micro-miniaturization of components has moved high-powered, microprocessor-based machines from the desktop, to the laptop, to notebook-sized, and now to palmtop computers, but supporting software has not kept pace: the predominant operating system on such machines is MS-DOS, absent integrated support for distributed computing.
Abstract: The continuing micro-miniaturization of components has moved high-powered, microprocessor-based machines from the desktop, to the laptop, to notebook-sized, and now to palmtop computers. These machines are distinguished in their hardware technol- ogy, but supporting software has not kept pace: the predominant operating system on such machines is MS-DOS, absent integrated support for distributed computing. With the LITTLE WORK project, I propose to close this gap in the information technology
