Communication Between Processes

NCL processes execute in isolation from one another and although many processes can run concurrently in the same NCL environment or region, they usually have no knowledge of each other's existence.

However, it is often very useful to communicate directly with another NCL process either within the same NCL region or (depending on implementation options and user authority) across NCL regions.

The ability of processes to talk to each other provides the framework for developing co-operative processes that can coordinate their activities but remain independent. ROF services can also be used to provide communication between processes in different systems.
