Abstract
The concept of the virtual network machine conceives the entire distributed hardware of a multicomputer system as a single virtual machine which is capable of executing a system of cooperating processes formulated in a suitable high level language, in this case CONCURRENT PASCAL. All processes communicate by means of MONITORS regardless whether they reside on the same node computer or on different ones. As a consequence of hardware failures remote procedure calls can fail. To handle those errors the use of Brinch Hansen’s guarded regions is proposed.
