Hello everyone,
My name is Marko Rodriguez. Joshua Shinavier and I created the Linked
Process specification to support Internet-scale distributed computing.
Peter Saint-Andre asked me to provide some "context" pointers to help
readers to identify the niche in which Linked Process fits. Here is a
list of resources that may be of interest:
1. http://linkedprocess.org/Overview.html -- a very simple 1-page
introduction to the main concepts behind Linked Process.
2. http://markorodriguez.com/Blarko/Entries/2009/8/27_Linked_Process_in_the_LANL_Highlights.html
-- a blog entry discussing Linked Process and its relationship to
other distributed computing protocols like MPI/PVM and RPC/Web-Services.
Next, here are two slide presentations discussing Linked Process. The
first is very simple and more graphical and the other more in-depth:
1. http://markorodriguez.com/Lectures_files/ignite-rodriguez2009.pdf
2. http://markorodriguez.com/Lectures_files/cnls-linkedprocess2009.pdf
Finally, here is a pointer to a Java implementation of Linked Process.
Note that an official packaged release will be coming soon.

Thank you for your time,
Marko.

The XMPP Extensions Editor has received a proposal for a new XEP.
Title: Linked Process Protocol
Abstract:
Linked Process is a protocol for distributed computing that
facilitates the creation of an Internet-scale, general-purpose
compute cloud. Any computing device with an Internet connection can
consume and/or provide computing resources in a Linked Process
cloud. Resource consumption occurs when a device migrates arbitrary
code to another device for execution. Linked Process is applicable
where it is necessary for a resource consumer to define the means by
which a provider's resources are utilized.

The XMPP Council will decide at its next meeting whether to accept
this proposal as an official XEP.
