In Distributed Morphology, the abstract morphemes that comprise words are held to be completely empty of phonological information until after the syntactic component has finished manipulating them.

Distributed Morphology makes a distinction between the notion of a morpheme, which refers to a syntactic terminal element, and that of a Vocabulary item, which is defined as a relation between a string of phonological information and the context in which this string may be inserted.

Distributed cognition views a system as a set of representations, and models the interchange of information between these representations.

In his book USS Palau ( Hutchins, 1996 ), he explains in detail how Distributed cognition is manifested through the interaction between crew members as they interpret, process, and transform information into various representational states in order to safely navigate the ship.

WMM replaces the traditional Wi-Fi DCF distributed coordination function for traditional CSMA / CA wireless frame transmission with EDCF, Enhanced Distributed Coordination Function, which according to version 1. 1 of the WMM specifications by the Wi-Fi Alliance, defines four Access Categories ( AC_BK, AC_BE, AC_VI, AC_VO ) labels, for the EDCA Enhanced Distributed Channel Access parameters that are used by a WMM-enabled station to control how long it shall set its TXOP Transmission Opportunity, according to the information transmitted by the access point to the station, and is implemented for wireless QoS between over RF media.
