Abstract
An information processing apparatus for performing, in response to a user's operation, reliable and effective distributed processing among a plurality of information processing apparatuses interconnected through a network. A main processor writes information data about an operating status of its own apparatus as an apparatus data in a main memory connected to the information processing controller, and transmits the apparatus data to another apparatus in response to a request from the other apparatus. Accordingly, an information processing apparatus checks the operating status of its own and other information processing apparatuses, selects an information processing apparatus for executing a computer program in response to the user's operation, and causes the selected apparatus to execute the computer program.
