Remos provides resource information to distributed applications.  Its
design goals of scalability, flexibility, and portability are achieved
through an architecture that allows components to be positioned across
the network, each collecting information about its local network.  To
collect information from different types of networks, Remos provides
several Collectors that use different technologies, including SNMP and
benchmarking.  By matching the Collector to the particular network
environment and by providing an architecture for distributing the
output of these collectors across all querying environments, Remos
collects appropriately detailed information at each site and
distributes this information where needed in a scalable manner.  Remos
has been implemented and tested in a variety of networks and is in use
in a number of different environments.
