ABSTRACT:
A method for executing programs in a distributed processing system includes executing in a plurality of first processors different programs which perform the same function. Messages, containing data representing execution result output from said different programs and attribute information indicating function to be performed by the different programs, are transmitted from the first processors to a network. A second processor then receives these messages and selects a message therefrom based on an analysis of the attribute information contained in all of the received messages. The second processor then executes an application program using the data contained in the selected message. Alternatively, the message-selecting step is made based on both the attribute information and data contained in the messages received in the second processor. Each of the messages from the first processors may include graphic image data which can be analyzed and shown on a display.
