Abstract: A distributed computing system includes at least first and second distinct computers each having a different operating system. First processes are compatible with the first operating system and second processes are compatible with the second operating system. A third scheduling computer, coupled to the first and second computer via a communication network, includes a scheduler for scheduling the first processes and the second processes to execute respectively on the first and second computers. The scheduler accesses a master schedule that defines an executing sequence of the first processes and the second processes. The master schedule can define conditional inter-relationships between the first processes and the second processes.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for propagating access to host site content to remote users over the World Wide Web are provided. Access to host site content is distributed more widely and easily through propagative posters. Remote users can access a host site and configure propagative posters in real-time. A Web code segment corresponding to a configured propagative poster is then generated and sent to the remote user in real-time. A remote user can easily cut and paste the generated Web code segment into the user's remote Web page. Alternatively, the generated Web code segment can be automatically inserted into the user's remote Web page if access rights to write on the Web page are available. In one embodiment, a propagation poster manager is provided for managing propagation posters of host site content to remote users over the World Wide Web.
