Abstract

Open Distributed Processing (ODP) offers interesting capabilities for electronic markets, especially in all those cases where advanced services are offered or sophisticated requests should be met and time is a critical factor of success.

The paper adresses the benefits of ODP against conventional techniques like centralized systems, videotex, or distributed databases, concentrating on economical arguments. In order to show the advantages of this new technology, advanced services are identified which are not supported by the known information- and booking-systems. These deficits serve to introduce the ultimate idea of ODP and to show the most appealing concepts of ODP, namely the trading mechanism, the definition of policies and the integration of ODP-software with existing application-systems.
