Distributed programming

Distributed programming is a Programming paradigm focusing on designing distributed, open, scalable, transparent, fault tolerant systems. This paradigm is a natural result out of the use of computers to form networks. Distributed programming typically falls into one of several basic architectures or categories:

(list of architectures)

• Distributed objects -- Systems like CORBA, Microsoft D/COM, Java RMI and others, try to map object oriented design to the network
• Loosely coupled -- Loosely coupled systems are ones that communicate through intermediate documents that are typically human readable. Examples include XML, HTML, SGML, X.500, and EDI.

Languages specifically tailored for distributed programming are;

• Oz programming language
• Ada programming language
