Distributed architecture
is based on a network model in which processes can be distributed
on any processor and any two individual nodes of the network
are in a client/server relationship with any number of intervening
middle layers. The heart of distributed architecture is based
on the client/server pattern.
Distributed software technology has much in common with and
is often served by object technology and software components.
There are many points of synergy between these technologies,
including a focus on real world modeling, as well as a focus
on simplicity, reusability, extensibility, and productivity.
