Abstract: Internet Computing is highly network-integrated computing on existing networks of computers, done on the grand scale of the Internet. Supporting Internet Computing will require advances in network communications architectures. I outline three research directions that I believe are critical: resource sharing based on market-economic principles; communication of agents (i.e. where the basic type of message is a program and not simply data); and provisions for ranges of qualities of service.

Categories and Subject Descriptors: C.2.1 [Computer-Communication Networks]: Network Architecture and Design - network communications, store and forward networks; C.2.4 [Computer-Communication Networks]: Distributed Systems - network operating systems; D.4.4 [Operating Systems]: Communications Management - network communication; D.4.6 [Operating Systems]: Security and Protection - authentication; D.4.7 [Operating Systems]: Organization and Design - distributed systems;

General Terms: Design, Management, Performance.

Additional Key Words and Phrases: market-based resource allocation, agent-based computing, quality of service.
