Abstract
A resource management system and method in a distributed processing system in which a plurality of computers are interconnected through a transmission line. A computer makes, upon accessing to a resource of another computer, inquiries about 'Whether the intended resource exists' and 'Ordering that if the intended resource exists, the interrogated computer should return a response indicative of attribute information of that resource' by using a so-called broadcasting function to simultaneously apprize all the computers constituting the distributed processing system of the same message.
