RM-ODP: The Architecture
Peter F. Linington · 1995
The Reference Model for Open Distributed Processing is a joint ISO/ITU Standard which provides a framework for the specification of large scale, heterogeneous distributed systems. It defines a set of five viewpoints concentrating on different parts of the distribution problem and a set of functions and transparency mechanisms which support distribution. The resulting framework is being populated by more detailed standards dealing with specific aspects of the construction and operation of distributed systems.
