Abstract
A distributed processing system distributively performs a series of processes for a job at a plurality of processing units connected to a common transmission path and has a circuit for transmitting information from a processing unit to the common transmission path. The distributed processing system includes a circuit for receiving from the common transmission path the information required for the processing of a program stored in each processing unit, and a circuit for detecting if all the information required for the processing of the program has been collected, for performing the processing of the program using the collected information as input information for the processing and for transmitting the processed result data to the common transmission path. Managing of the programs is performed by transmitting a program stored in each processing unit or a program newly generated or modified by each processing unit, together with program generation information, to the common transmission path and discriminating a difference between generations of a plurality of developed programs.
