%0 Report %1 johnson91 %A Johnson, Brad Curtis %D 1991 %K distributed software %N DEV-DCE-TP6-1 %T A Distributed Computing Environment Framework: An OSF Perspective %U http://www.opengroup.org/dce/info/papers/dev-dce-tp6-1.ps %X This paper articulates an architectural framework, and the fundamental mechanisms that are required to support that framework, for a distributed computing environment. The emphasis of this framework is on open distributed systems. That is, it serves as a model that supports many of the requirements of a distributed system: such as the need for interoperability, the need to support the client/server distributed application model, and the need to account for the characteristics and challenges that are unique to a distributed environment. This paper will describe a number of commonalities and differences between the stand-alone environment and the distributed environment. In doing so, it will raise a number of distributed system issues that must be resolved in order to satisfy the needs of an open distributed system. Finally, this paper will also articulate the need and process for building an open distributed system so that it behaves like a system rather than a set of disparate components.
