AnnexABibliography Abstract
Gives a motivational overview of Open Distributed Processing (ODP), providing scoping, justification and explanation of key concepts, together with an outline of the ODP architecture. Includes explanatory material on the interpretation and application of this Reference Model by its users, who may include standards writers and ODP reform systems architects. In addition, it contains a categorization of required areas of standardization shown in terms of the reference points for conformance identified in CCITT REC X.903/ISO 10746-3.
