Abstract
The Scalable Systems Software Project is exploring the design of a systems software architecture based on separate, replaceable components interacting through publicly defined interfaces. This talk will describe how a scalable process manager has provided the implementation of the process management component of that design. We describe a general, implementation-independent definition of process management and how a scalable process management system was used to provide its implementation.
