Abstract: A concept for programming distributed systems is presented, called the virtual network machine. This approach conceives the entire distributed hardware configuration as a single virtual machine which is capable of executing a system of cooperating processes formulated in a suitable high level language, in this case CONCURRENT PASCAL. All processes communicate by means of MONITORs regardless wether they reside on the same node computer or on different ones. The current status of our ongoing implementation is reported and the relation to the ISO-Reference-Model of Open Systems Architecture is discussed.
