A design-oriented study is conducted of process assignment policies             having load-balancing effects in local-area-network-based distributed           systems.  The study utilizes analytic techniques when appropriate, but          relies mostly on a simulation approach.  The first phase of the study           focuses on process assignment policies, and assumes the availability of         an ideal assignment mechanism.  The three primary factors of the first          phase are the load index, the delay between load measurement and                process assignment, and the duration of the smoothing interval.  In the         second phase, real mechanisms with their overheads are simulated.  The          best policies identified in the first phase, as well as several                 alternative mechanisms, are compared with one another.  The ultimate            goal of the research is to acquire the knowledge needed to design               effective automatic load-balancing schemes.
