Operation jump start: a CORDS integration prototype using DCE
Abstract
CORDS is an ongoing project whose goal is to create a prototype environment for developing and managing distributed applications. This paper describes the Jump Start Project, in which mechanisms were added to the existing midware layer of CORDS and OSF/DCE to assist in developing distributed applications, and the CORDS environment was used to develop distributed applications. The applications developed were an integrated office with a White Pages directory, a mail system, a personal calendar system, and a transaction-based automatic teller machine.
