Abstract

An analysis of current implementation of distributed computing and its management using the von-Neumann stored program control computing model is presented to identify ways to improve the resiliency, efficiency and scaling of distributed transactions supporting the demands of communication, collaboration and commerce at the speed of light. A comparison with other distributed computing models such as the cellular organisms, human organizational networks and telecommunication networks points to a new computing model that leverages parallelism, signaling and end-to-end transaction management improving the resilience, efficiency and scaling of distributed transactions.
