Abstract
A distributed environment is used for the development and operation of distributed applications. This paper compares two distributed environments: the Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) from the Open Software Foundation (OSF) and ANSAware from Architecture Projects Management (APM) Limited. The results indicate that DCE and ANSAware have many differences. These differences reflect the fact that ANSAware was built up from an innovative architectural model for distributed systems with a focus on providing a vehicle for technology transfer, while DCE was built by integrating existing technology with a focus on providing the functionality necessary for commercial viability.
