Short for istributed omponent bject odel, an extension of the Component Object Model (COM) to support objects distributed across a network. DCOM was developed by Microsoft and has been submitted to the IETF as a draft standard. Since 1996, it has been part of Windows NT, and is also available for Windows 95. DCOM serves the same purpose as IBM's DSOM protocol, which is the most popular implementation of CORBA. Unlike CORBA, which runs on many operating systems, DCOM is currently implemented only for Windows.
distributed component object modeling
Similar to Com but works across networks.
a Microsoft protocol that enables distributed software components to communicate over a network in a reliable and secure manner. DCOM serves a similar purpose to CORBA, but is restricted to Windows-based systems. (p. 42)
Distributed Component Object Model. Profibus
Distributed Component Object Model. Additions to the Component Object Model (COM) that facilitate the transparent distribution of objects over networks and over the Internet. DCOM is part of the specification managed by The Open Group for deployment across heterogeneous platforms. See also COM and The Open Group.
See Distributed Component Object Model.
Distributed Component Object Model. The Microsoft Component Object Model (COM) specification that defines how components communicate over Windows-based networks. Use the DCOM Configuration tool to integrate client/server applications across multiple computers. DCOM can also be used to integrate robust Web browser applications. See also DCOM Configuration tool.
Abbreviation for Distributed Component Object Model. DCOM is a Microsoft extension of Microsoft Component Object Model (COM) that supports objects distributed across a network.
distributed component object model. An extension of COM that enables objects to interact with other objects across a network.
Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM). An extension to Microsoft's general architecture for component-based software. DCOM supports communication between COM components, such as ActiveX controls and Java applets, that are distributed over a network.
a set of concepts and program interfaces in which client program objects can request services from server program objects residing on other computers in a network. DCOM is based on the Component Object Model (COM).
Distributed Component Object Model DCOM is a middleware technology for building Windows-based distributed client/server applications in which clients and DCOM components are independent of location and programming language.
distributed Component Object Model. An extension of the Component Object Model (COM). DCOM enables software components to communicate directly with each other across networks, including the Internet and intranets, in a reliable, secure, and efficient manner.
Distributed Component Object Model. A protocol based on the Open Software Foundation's DCE-RPC specification, that enables COM components to communicate directly over a network in a reliable, secure, and efficient manner.
Distributed COM, or Distributed Component Object Model. The extension of COM to support communication between components distributed across a network.
Distributed Component Object Model. Microsoft's specification for distributing and using COM objects across systems in a network. See also Component Object Model (COM) and COM/DCOM Client.
Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) is a Microsoft technology for distributed objects. It is based on COM, a Microsoft component software architecture, which defines the object interfaces. DCOM defines the remote procedure call that allows those objects to be run remotely over the network. It was formerly Network OLE.
Distributed Component Object Model. Distributed COM is an extension of the COM model, allowing components to provide services over networks.
A wire protocol that enables COM components to communicate directly with each other across a network. See also COM, component.
Distributed Component Object Model. An extension of the component object model (COM) that supports objects distributed across a network.
DCOM (Distributed Component Object Model) is a set of Microsoft concepts and program interfaces in which client program objects can request services from server program objects on other computers in a network.
The acronym for Distributed Component Object Model. An extension of COM by which applications can expose objects to computers across a network, and, conversely, by which computers can use objects that have been exposed from across a network.
Component Object Model / Distributed Component Object Model
Distributed Component Object Model—Microsoft's protocol that enables software components to communicate directly over a network in a reliable, secure, and efficient manner. DCOM is based on the DCE-RPC specification and works with both Java applets and ActiveX components through its use of the COM.
Distributed Component Object Model. A Microsoft technology that enables software components to communicate directly with each other across networks, including the Internet and intranets. Based on COM.
istributed COM. COM here stands form omponent bject odel. Simply a way to create software programs in small modules that are called objects. They are reusable and can talk among each other. It is a way to get away from monster size software applications that are really difficult to maintain, and at the same time be able to run these modules (objects) on different computers so you can distribute the CPU load. DCOM is a big part of ActiveX .
Extends COM to networks; makes remote objects appear to be local.
(Distributed Component Object Model)—Architecture developed by Microsoft to extend COM, thus enabling objects located on different LANs, WANs, or on the Internet to communicate with each other.
