At the time, network computing was quite popular, and many of the companies involved were working on similar RPC-based systems. By integrating security, RPC and other distributed services on a single distributed computing environment, OSF could offer a major advantage over SVR4, allowing any DCE-supporting system (namely OSF/1) to interoperate ...
The Cajo Project is a framework that enables multiple Java applications that are spread across multiple machines to work together as one transparently and dynamically. This framework is useful for both open/free and proprietary applications that need distributed computing capabilities.
DCE/RPC, short for "Distributed Computing Environment / Remote Procedure Calls", is the remote procedure call system developed for the Distributed Computing Environment (DCE). This system allows programmers to write distributed software as if it were all working on the same computer, without having to worry about the underlying network code.
A computer program that runs within a distributed system is called a distributed program, [7] and distributed programming is the process of writing such programs. [8] There are many different types of implementations for the message passing mechanism, including pure HTTP, RPC-like connectors and message queues .
Distributed objects are used in Java RMI. CORBA lets one build distributed mixed object systems. DCOM is a framework for distributed objects on the Microsoft platform. DDObjects is a framework for distributed objects using Borland Delphi. Jt is a framework for distributed components using a messaging paradigm. JavaSpaces is a Sun specification ...
A tuple space is an implementation of the associative memory paradigm for parallel/distributed computing. It provides a repository of tuples that can be accessed concurrently. As an illustrative example, consider that there are a group of processors that produce pieces of data and a group of processors that use the data.
Java was now the GUI of choice for client-side applications, and Sun's OpenStep plans were quietly dropped (see Lighthouse Design). NEO was re-positioned as a Java system with the introduction of the "Joe" framework, [2] but it saw little use. Components of NEO and Joe were eventually subsumed into Enterprise JavaBeans. [3]
Project Athena was a joint project of MIT, Digital Equipment Corporation, and IBM to produce a campus-wide distributed computing environment for educational use. [1] It was launched in 1983, and research and development ran until June 30, 1991.
