Reference Model for Open Distributed Processing (RM-ODP)-SAIF

Reference Model of Open Distributed Processing (RM-ODP)

1. Reference Model of Open Distributed Processing (RM-ODP) is a reference model in computer science, which provides a co-coordinating framework for the standardization of open distributed processing (ODP). It supports distribution, interworking, platform and technology independence, and portability, together with an enterprise architecture framework for the specification of ODP systems. RM-ODP, also named ITU-T Rec. X.901-X.904 and ISO/IEC 10746, is a joint effort by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the International Electro technical Commission (IEC) and the Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T).
2. Reference Model for Open Distributed Processing (RM-ODP) is an object modeling approach to describe distributed systems. Two structuring approaches are used to simplify the problems of design in large complex systems: five 'viewpoints' provide different ways of describing the system. Each viewpoint is associated with a language, which can be used to describe systems from that viewpoint.
