%X We demonstrate the feasibility of distributed execution of
   occam programs within computer networks which support open
   systems standards for inter\-process communication, remote
   execution and program hosting (e.g. hardware\-independent
   programming languages and operating\-system\-independent
   APIs). We first propose a general architecture, and then
   describe a constructive proof of its viability (i.e. a
   prototype). which uses a novel multiplexed virtual channel
   protocol over UNIX sockets. Finally we summarise some of the
   opportunities for further development which this project has
   created.
