Abstract. The problem of building the architecture of distributed virtual machine is being solved. A technical implementation of a distributed virtual machine is proposed, which provides the construction of an infocommunication infrastructure based on new principles. In the case under consideration, data transfer between network nodes occurs as a software interaction between individual nodes of a virtual machine, which allows the application developer within a distributed system to abstract from the communication level. A minimally sufficient set of instructions for a virtual machine is proposed to provide remote function calls, as well as a mechanism for extending the set of instructions with application functions. A distinctive feature of the architecture is the use of an object-oriented approach to build an extensible bytecode execution environment with the ability to access objects located remotely on network nodes. The approach is applicable in a number of practical tasks, in particular, for building distributed interactive applications, information systems, as well as for organizing communication between robotic systems in swarm scenarios of their use.
