title: Experiences with DCE: the pro7 communication server based on OSF-DCE functionality.
abstract: The pro7-communication server is a new approach to manage communication between different applications on different hardware platforms in a hospital environment. The most important features are the use of OSF/DCE for realising remote procedure calls between different platforms, the use of an SQL-92 compatible relational database and the design of a new software development tool (called protocol definition language compiler) for describing the interface of a new application, which is to integrate in a hospital environment.
