Introduction to ODP Computational Model by Kazi Farooqui and Luigi Logrippo Department of Computer Science, University of Ottawa Abstract This paper presents a tutorial introduction to the major features of the RM-ODP compu tational model. The elements of the computational model are introduced and briefly explained. The model is described as an object-oriented framework of distributed applications. Major aspects of the computational model as an interaction model, a con struction model, and as a distributed programming model are presented.
