Claim 0:
1. A method for coordinating actions of a plurality of components in a multi-component system, wherein each of said plurality of components includes a computing device, comprising:
(a) providing a first set of software code needed to run a coordinating process on each of said computing devices;
(b) providing a set of local software code needed to run local processes on each of said computing devices;
(c) wherein said coordinating process controls operations needed to coordinate the activities of said components in said multi-component system;
(d) cycling said coordinating process through each of said components in said multi-component system by transferring an execution state of said coordinating process through each of said components, with said coordinating process running on each of said components for a residency time;
(e) wherein said coordinating process only communicates with one of said sets of local software code running on one of said components when said coordinating process is running on said one of said components;
(f) wherein said coordinating process issues a command to a specific component in said multi-component system and said issued command is transferred to said specific component when said coordinating process is running on said specific component.
