The environment efficiently and effectively manages system resources via a centralized control sub-system. A detailed overview of the environment executing on a local area network is presented along with analysis on its control sub-system. The control sub-system's execution characteristics of stability and scalability are also substantiated.application/pdfenIn CopyrightTechnical reportTR-92-37http://eprints.cs.vt.edu/archive/00000317/01/TR-92-37.pdf
