This research deals with the comparative study of distributed system and client/server computer system, placing a special emphasis is on security system. The researches describe the data security in these systems by describing them; examine their issues, challenges and presenting the adequate solutions. We have selected four type of distributed system and included a report on the basis of autho...

This investigation addresses distributed environments for computer-aided process planning (CAPP) over a network. The Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) standard using Java is applied to implement cross-platform and distributed computing architecture, thus reducing the system loading during manufacturing process planning. The product-oriented standard, standard exchange of product (STEP), model da...

The research group ”Computer Networks and Distributed Systems” of the “Institute of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics” at the University of Bern led by Prof. Dr. Torsten Braun focuses the research activities in the areas of mobile and multimedia communications as well as on distance learning and security architectures. In fall 2003, a Klausurtagung has been organized in Pochtenalp with t...

Supervisory Distributed Computer Control Systems help the operator to run the process by putting control and monitoring functionality at his or her disposal. These systems support the Human Machine Interface, Message Handling, Archiving, Hardware Diagnostics and they execute control functions automatically. With respect to these requirements, the functionality of supervisory distributed control...
