Hello, In finalizing my SoC proposal for the Signal Network library, I implemented a pair of components which allow signal networks to be built accross multiple computers using Boost.Serialization and asio. An example: computer 1 ----------- // ...construct and connect a tcp asio socket signet::socket_sender sender(socket); generator >>= filter1 >>= sender; computer 2 ----------- // ...construct and connect a tcp asio socket signet::socket_receiver receiver(socket); sender >>= filter2 >>= display; --- This now behaves similar to the following signal network: generator >>= filter1 >>= filter2 >>= display; , but it's distributed accross two computers. The (current) downside is that the receiver is synchronous. An asynchronous version is in the works. http://dancinghacker.com/code/signet has the SoC proposal, documentation, tutorial, examples, and the library code. Stjepan
