This sounds like distributed computing to me. CORBA may help in that,
although it is not particularly easy to work with unless you have good
development tools. Mobile computation may also help, but that rarely
supports C++.

   Swarm-Modelling is for discussion of Simulation and Modelling techniques
   esp. using Swarm.  For list administration needs (esp. [un]subscribing),
   please send a message to <address@hidden> with "help" in the
   body of the message.
