  1. A Flexible Distributed Computing Interface using Ability-Specific Nodes an envisioned Thesis Proposal by Mike MacFerrin

  2. What does it do? • A common programming interface to structure the definition of a “node” object • Nodes are cheap, interchangeable • Computer programs (written in common languages) are compiled and distributed among nodes to perform complicated tasks • Interface based (possibly) on XML or .NET

  3. What I'll do with it... • Create individual nodes to perform computational primitives (multiplying, dividing, array manipulation) • Write & execute higher-level programs on the network • Demonstrate the network's flexibility • Swapping Nodes • Upgrading Nodes

  4. Far-Reaching Implications • Nodes can be easily upgraded, interchanged (PBJ sandwich) • Nodes could perform physical tasks • Manufacturing • Civil Construction/Repair • Disaster Management • Surgical Tasks • Nano-Technology

  5. Research Areas • Computer Networks/Systems • Compilers • Artificial Intelligence? • Programming Languages?
