title: BMON2--a distributed monitor system for biological image processing.
abstract: This paper presents an example of a distributed monitor system BMON2, which was developed and is in daily use in a biological image processing environment. Some useful aspects of such a system are discussed, particularly those which make for easier biologist-user interaction and system extensibility. The principles of extension of the distributed monitor to a time-shared computer system is outlined.
