DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM, COMMUNICATION MEANS SELECTION METHOD, AND COMMUNICATION MEANS SELECTION PROGRAM

摘要

There is provided a distributed system including multiple nodes, each node including multiple communication means, the distributed system characterized by including: storage means for storing physical location information on anode and identification information on an application running on the node in association with each other; communication means determination means which, when an application running on a first node communicates with an application running on a second node, extracts location information on the first node and the second node from the storage means based on identification information on the applications, and determines optimum communication means from the multiple communication means based on the extracted location information; and communication means selection means for selecting communication means based on the determination result made by the communication means determination means.
