TL;DR
This paper describes MIS/O, an experimental mobile information system based on wireless data communication which has been developed at the Computer Graphics Center during 1994, and introduces a fragmented object model for a (partial) migration of object behaviour to the mobile system-acting as an intelligent data terminal-at runtime.

The network may not be the computer any more, but it certainly influences the way the computer performs, and adding a fairly atypical network layer cannot help but expose some underlying assumptions.
