Distributed Computing Environment
(DCE) An architecture consisting of standard programming
interfaces, conventions and server functionalities
(e.g. naming, distributed file system, remote procedure call)
for distributing applications transparently across networks of
heterogeneous computers. DCE is promoted and controlled by
the Open Software Foundation (OSF).

Distributed Computing Environment
In computing, the Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) software system was developed in the early 1990s from the work of the Open Software Foundation (OSF), a consortium (founded in 1988) that included Apollo Computer (part of Hewlett-Packard from 1989), IBM, Digital Equipment Corporation, and others. The DCE supplies a framework and a toolkit for developing client/server applications.

Distributed computing is a field of computer science that studies distributed systems. A distributed system is a system whose components are located on different networked computers, which communicate and coordinate their actions by passing messages to one another from any system.

Distributed Computing Environment
In computing, the Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) software system was developed in the early 1990s from the work of the Open Software Foundation (OSF), a consortium (founded in 1988) that included Apollo Computer (part of Hewlett-Packard from 1989), IBM, Digital Equipment Corporation, and others. The DCE supplies a framework and a toolkit for developing client/server applications. The framework includes:
- a remote procedure call (RPC) mechanism known as DCE/RPC
- a naming (directory) service
- a time service
- an authentication service
- a distributed file system (DFS) known as DCE/DFS
DCE represented a big step in the direction of standardization of architectures, which had previously been manufacturer-dependent. Like the OSI model, DCE has not seen much success in practical implementation; however, its underlying concepts have had more substantial influence over subsequent efforts.
