develop technologies that will form infrastructure for global distributed
information systems and services.


Research Program:

Research, in distributed architectures, databases, software tools and 
management, security, and performance (MSP) will develop new technologies
in the form of prototypes and demonstrators for commercialisation.

Architectures	Infrastructure to provide services to clients across
		heterogeneous networks of disparate computers, working
		with ODP, DCE, OMG and other emerging technologies.

Databases	Uniform access to heterogeneous databases and applications
		across a network, involving integration architectures and
		methodologies, and distributed transaction processing.

Software Tools	The creation of distributed software and collaboration
		amongst distributed teams of software developers.

MSP		Tools for managing complex distributed systems, and in
		particular security and performance, involving DME,
		OSI management and security, and teletraffic.
