Automatic determination of language versions in distributed systems

An approach for automatically determining language versions in a network-based environment is presented. The techniques of feature set difference and hashing are used to efficiently implement the search for those versions containing the incoming features. Some noteworthy implementation considerations, such as communication cost, system load and compilation efficiency, are discussed.<<ETX>>
