Distributed Computing Environemnt

The Open Software Foundations specification for a set of integrated services, including remote procedure calls, distributed file systems, and security services. The OSF-DCE RPC standard is the basis for Microsoft RPC.

Distributed Computing Enviroment

Distributed Computing Environment. An open set of services controlled by the OSF and designed to support performing distributed computing across heterogeneous platforms.

Distributed Computing Environment. An OSF initiative to create a vendor-neutral networking and distributed computing environment to support distributed applications, by integrating the appropriate technology or combination of technologies into a single environment.

Distributed Computing Environment. An industry standard software technology for setting up and managing computing and data exchange in a system of distributed computers typically used in a large client/server network of computing systems that include servers of different sizes, scattered geographically.

Distributed Computing Environment. An architecture of standard programming interfaces, conventions, and server functionalities (e.g., naming, distributed file system, remote procedure call) for distributing applications transparently across networks of heterogeneous computers. Promoted and controlled by the Open Software Foundation (OSF), a consortium led by Digital, IBM and Hewlett Packard. [Source: RFC1208

A suite of software utilities and operating system extensions that will, in theory, create applications on networks of heterogeneous hardware - PCs, Unix workstations, minicomputers and mainframes. The DCE is the product of the OSF. The DCE is designed to simplify the building of heterogeneous client/server applications and provides seven general services: Remote Procedure Call, Security, Naming (directory), Distributed File System, Threads, Time and PC Integration. DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) - A Microsoft messaging specification. When DDE-compliant applications are combined, dynamic documents can be created which update each other as data changes.

Distributed Computing Environment. An architecture based on standard programming interfaces, conventions, and server functionalities used for distributing applications transparently across networks. The DCE is controlled and promoted by the Open Software Foundation (OSF), a consortium of vendors including DEC, IBM and Hewlett Packard.

See Distributed Computing Environment (DCE).

Distributed Computing Environment. An OSF product. A windowing environment similar to Motif.

Distributed Computing Environment. A large program package developed by OSF that aims at creating a uniform environment by allowing many geographically separated computers to co-operate. It can easily be mixed up with CDE and DEC that are other general abbreviations in this connection.

The Distributed Computing Environment. The DCE client allows Penn State users to authenticate with their CAC Access Account userid and password to gain access to many different resources on campus through their Network Neighborhood. DCE allows for collaborative work, use of latent computing cycles, distribution of software, and secure transactions.

DCE (Distributed Computing Environment) provides a secure and reliable way to ensure that users of UB computing resources are who they say they are and are authorized to use the resources. In addition, DCE provides a single username and password for accessing multiple services. These services include MyUB, UBUnix, Central Email, Dial-in Access, and Public Computing Sites. Your UBITName is a Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) principle.

Distributed Computing Environment. A set of integrated network services that works across multiple systems to provide a distributed environment. The middleware between distributed applications and the operating system or networkservices; based on a client/server computing model. DCE is supported by the Open Group.

Distributed Computing Environment. The OSF Distributed Computing Environment [30] is a comprehensive, integrated set of services that supports the development, use and maintenance of distributed applications. It provides a uniform set of services, anywhere in the network, enabling applications to utilise the power of a heterogeneous network of computers.

An environment developed by the Open Group ( http://www.opengroup.org/dce/) that provides services and tools that support the creation, use, and maintenance of distributed applications in a heterogeneous computing environment.

Distributed Computing Environment. An architecture consisting of standard programming interfaces, conventions and server functionalities (eg. naming (CDS), security (Kerberos), distributed file system (DFS), remote procedure call (RPC)) for distributing applications transparently across networks of heterogeneous computers. DCE is promoted and controlled by the Open Software Foundation (OSF).

Distributed Computing Environment. A software technology which enables a network of computers to interwork and thus behave as one integrated computing system.

Distributed Computing Environment used on CCS systems for user authentication.

Distributed Computing Environment. An architecture of standard programming interfaces, conventions, and server functions (for example, naming, distributed file system, remote procedure call) for transparently distributing applications across networks of heterogeneous computers.

Distributed Computing Environment. 1. The Open Software Foundation's architecture for distributed computing. It is also a set of network services (for example, security service, threads, directory, and time services) that are implemented in source code and licensed by software manufacturers for incorporation into products. 2. (IRM) A suite of technology services that may be used by many applications that run on different platforms. Examples of technology services are security services and directory services. DCE is maintained by The Open Group.

data computing environment. A suite of standards to support distributed computing that was developed and is distributed by the Open Software Foundation. The standards address many aspects of computing including authentication, authorization, file service, time service, and directory service.

Distributed Computing Environment product from OSF

Distributed Computing Environment. This is provided by OSF (Open System Foundation) DCE allows development of applications based on client-server architecture.

Distributed Computing Environment—from the Open Software Foundation, DCE provides key distributed technologies such as RPC, distributed naming service, time synchronization service, distributed file system and network security.
