Abstract
A system and procedure for controlling and monitoring programs in a computer network system. An important advantage of the present invention is that a user interface for controlling and monitoring the programs in the computer network system remains unchanged when compared to the user interface of single computers. The computer network simulates a single computer. The system administrator controls and monitors the programs in the computer network system as in a single computer. The user interface is independent of the computer, i.e. the system administrator only needs to call one computer in the computer network system. The selection of the computer in the computer network system is carried out by automatic addressing. This computer is responsible for centralized control and monitoring in the whole computer network. The selection is made dynamically, i.e. other computers or several computers at the same time can take over the these central functions (dynamic centralization).
