The present invention consists in that, when a program constitution in each of processors connected to a common transmission line has changed, a message to this effect is broadcast to the common transmission line, and that, when the message has been received from the common transmission line, information on programs stored in the own processor is broadcast to the common transmission line, whereby the messages indicating the program constitutions in the individual processors are automatically broadcast onto the transmission line at the changes of the constitutions of programs. Besides, in a system wherein a series of processes are executed by a plurality of programs, the relation among programs according to the flow of the series of processes can be recognized using information on the input/output data of each of the programs.

System for recognizing program constitution within a distributed

In a distributed processing system wherein a plurality of processors are connected by a transmission medium; a simulation method for a distributed processing system characterized by defining transmission delay times ascribable to the transmission medium, input/output data items and processing times of respective programs which are set in the system, and numbers of the processors in which the programs are stored.
