distributed system
     
        a collection of probably heterogeneous automata whose
        distribution is transparent to the user so that the system
        appears as one local machine.  this is in contrast to a
        network, where the user is aware that there are several
        machines, and their location, storage replication, load
        balancing and functionality is not transparent.  distributed
        systems usually use some kind of client-server organisation.
     
        distributed systems are considered by some to be the "next
        wave" of computing.
     
        distributed computing environment is the open software
        foundation's software architecture for distributed systems.
