Abstract
A distributed interactive processing in a complex computer system including a plurality of work stations (IWS's), each having predetermined server processes, at least a host computer (HOST), communication lines interconnecting between the plurality of IWS's and the HOSTs, and communication control portions to establish and to control communication paths between processes to conduct a process-to-process communication between the IWS's and the HOSTs. Each IWS has therein a process to implement an assigned processing request and a request control section to analyze the processing request issued by the own IWS and to determine a server process required to implement the processing request. Among a result of the request analysis, a predetermined server process is executed in the own IWS. The communication control portions establish a communication path between an associated server process in the relevant HOST and the request process in the IWS in accordance with the determination in the IWS regarding server process and thereby enable the IWS to perform an on-line interactive processing in combination of the server process in the HOST and the process in the IWS.
