Three different load balancing algorithms for distributed systems that consist of a number of
identical processors and a CSMA communication system are presented in this paper. Some
of the properties of a multi-resource system and the balancing process are demonstrated by
an analytic model. Simulation is used as a mean for studying the interdependency between
the parameters of the distributed system and the behaviour of the balancing algorithm. The
results of this study shed light on the characteristics of the load balancing process.
