Defining a type model and maintaining a persistent type repository is an approach taken by a number of distributed platforms for managing the heterogeneity present in distributed systems. In particular, the Reference Model of Open Distributed Processing (RM-ODP) defines a basic type model and type repository function for supporting application interoperability in an open, heterogeneous and autonomous environment. This paper presents the specification of one approach to type description and type management that is compliant with the current version of the RM-ODP standard. The specification extends the scope of the RM-ODP type model by introducing relationship types. It shows their description and role in type matching. A summary of the important features of this specification is also presented.

“…It also suggests possible mappings between subtyping relationships when type managers of the various domains federate provided that the type managers can understand relationship types and are able to relate them (e.g. the type manager presented in [ 4]). Table 2 summarises the possible relationship translations including interface extension, renaming, parameter subtyping, and parameter conversion.…”

Interoperability of heterogeneous distributed platforms is affected by differences in their type systems, including both differences in syntax and semantics of types and approaches to inclusion polymorphism. This paper examines the differences of well known distributed platforms (DCE, ANSAware, CORBA) as well as models for distributed and object oriented systems. The examination is illustrated by a scenario of their cooperation. The scenario is based on resolving differences during the federation process. The federation involves extension of persistent type repositories for each domain to incorporate mappings among domains. The scenario focuses on differences in compatibility relationships.

“…Distributed systems represent a flexible, localized and highly networked approach, where the central infrastructure plays an arterial role, while smaller, tailored systems operate and interact with users at a more localized level (Biggs et al, 2009). Distributed water systems are not merely technical innovations, but also require innovative governance and are not appropriate in every context.…”

The 2017 edition of the United Nations World Water Development Report demonstrates how improved wastewater management generates social, environmental and economic benefits essential for sustainable development. In particular, the Report seeks to inform decision-makers, government, civil society and private sector, about the importance of managing wastewater as an undervalued and sustainable source of water, energy, nutrients and other recoverable by-products, rather than something to be disposed of or a nuisance to be ignored. The report’s title reflects the critical role that wastewater is poised to play in the context of a circular economy, whereby economic development is balanced with the protection of natural resources and environmental sustainability, and where a cleaner and more sustainable economy has a positive effect on the water quality.
