The January 1987 issue of Operating Systems Review carried a report on
the Second European SIGOPS Workshop "Making Distributed Systems Work."
I found the report very interesting and would recommend it to anyone
working on distributed systems, particularly distributed operating
systems.

Two questions raised during the workshop deserve wider discussion:

1. There seems to be a division of SIGOPS "insiders" and "outsiders."
   Some insiders want to bring in "outsiders" (for ex. Dave Clark) to
   SIGOPS functions.  I wonder if the readers of mod.os share this
   perception of SIGOPS isolation.

2. The existence of "really distributed applications" was questioned
   several times.  If you have a distributed (operating) system, what
   do you run on it?
