Brief Description of GTE's DOC Department For over six years, the primary focus of the Distributed Object Computing Department within GTE Laboratories has been the Distributed Object Management (DOM) project. The DOM project conducts research into object-oriented technology for integrating heterogeneous, autonomous, distributed (HAD) computer systems/resources. Major research areas include: interoperable object models; interoperable, distributed object architectures; heterogeneous, extended transaction models; and information requests in HAD environments. We are experimenting in these areas using our prototype DOM system which we have developed over the past five years. This technology is based on ideas from a number of technical areas including distributed, object-oriented, databases, multi-database systems, operating systems, and programming languages.
