Abstract
Roscoe is an operating system implemented at the University of Wisconsin that allows a network of microcomputers to cooperate to provide a general-purpose computing facility. After presenting an overview of the structure of Roscoe, this paper reports on experience with Roscoe and presents several problems currently being investigated by the Roscoe project.
