Introduction to ODP Engineering 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 Engineering Model. The elements of the engineering model are introduced and briefly explained. The model is described as an object-based distributed platform for the support of distributed applications modelled in the computational model. Major elements of the engineering model which enable, regulate, and hide distribu tion are presented.
