The Windows 2000 Server family has additional features, including the ability to provide Active Directory services ( a hierarchical framework of resources ), Distributed File System ( a file system that supports sharing of files ) and fault-redundant storage volumes.

In the end, proposals for these two requirements, called respectively, the Distributed Computing Environment ( DCE ), and the Distributed File System ( DFS ) won over Sun's proposed ONC and NFS.

FLASK, in turn, was based on DTOS, a Mach-derived Distributed Trusted Operating System, as well as Trusted Mach, a research project from Trusted Information Systems that had an influence on the design and implementation of DTOS.

Microsoft was evolving OLE into the Component Object Model ( COM ) and a similar distributed version called DCOM, IBM had their System Object Model ( SOM / DSOM ), Sun Microsystems was promoting their Distributed Objects Everywhere, and there were a host of smaller players as well.

* 330th Aircraft Sustainment WingThe wing provides weapon system logistics support, oversees unscheduled and programmed depot maintenance, and manages modification efforts for the Air Force ’ s fleet of C-5, C-130, C-17, F-15, U-2, and E-8C Joint STARS aircraft, Global Hawk, Distributed Common Ground System ( DCGS ), MC-130, HC-130 and various special operations combat search and rescue aircraft and helicopters to include AC-130H / U, MC-130E / H / P, EC-130J, MH-53J / M, HH-60G, UH-1N, TH-1H, and HC-130P / N.

Then, in 1991, researchers at the University of California, Davis created a prototype Distributed Intrusion Detection System ( DIDS ), which was also an expert system.

Software systems based on IDLs include Sun's ONC RPC, The Open Group's Distributed Computing Environment, IBM's System Object Model, the Object Management Group's CORBA ( which implements OMG IDL, an IDL based on DCE / RPC ), Mozilla's XPCOM, Facebook's Thrift and WSDL for Web services.

Domain / OS ( Distributed On-line Multi-access Interactive Network / Operating System ) was initially a layer over Aegis and was not built on a Unix kernel.

* “ Time, Clocks, and the Ordering of Events in a Distributed System ”, which received the PODC Influential Paper Award in 2000,

* “ Distributed Snapshots: Determining Global States of a Distributed System ” and

In Clarke's final year at Edinburgh, he completed his " final year project ", entitled " A Distributed, Decentralised Information Storage and Retrieval System ".

DCS ( Distributed Control System ) is a computerized control system used to control the production line in the industry

* FreeDCS is another Open Source Distributed Control System

* Distributed Control System, a control system in which the controller elements are not central in location but are distributed throughout the system with each component sub-system under the control of one or more controllers

In 1996, SPKI was merged with Simple Distributed Security Infrastructure ( SDSI, pronounced sudsy ) by Ron Rivest and Butler Lampson.

He is currently working at Microsoft Research, in the Distributed Systems and Security group within Systems and Networking Research.

The Portable Open Source Security Elements, or POSSE project, was a co-operative venture between the University of Pennsylvania Distributed Systems Laboratory, the OpenBSD project and others.

* The Distributed Relational Database Architecture ( DRDA )

* Distributed Systems Architecture, a strictly OSI-compliant network architecture developed by Honeywell-Bull

The proprietary networking architecture for Honeywell Bull mainframes is Distributed Systems Architecture ( DSA ).

Other architectures are Unisys – formerly Univac – Distributed Computing Architecture ( DCA ) and – formerly Burroughs – Burroughs Network Architecture ( BNA ), both largely obsolete by 2012.

These solutions included IBM's Distributed Relational Database Architecture ( DRDA ) and Apple Computer's Data Access Language.

The networking architecture, developed by Honeywell-Bull for the GCOS environment, was Distributed Systems Architecture ( DSA ).

Distributed Systems Architecture was strictly compliant with Open Systems Interconnection.

Distributed Shared Memory ( DSM ), in Computer Architecture is a form of memory architecture where the ( physically separate ) memories can be addressed as one ( logically shared ) address space.

* The Styx Architecture for Distributed Systems by Rob Pike and Dennis Ritchie.

Application services were provided by SNA Distribution Services ( SNADS ) for store and forward document transmission, Document Interchange Architecture ( DIA ) for electronic mail, and Distributed Data Management for file sharing.
