When they fail to do that, they lead to confusion and misunderstanding. 'Distributed data processing' and 'distributed processing' are two phrases which illustrate the axiom. The author hopes to introduce some precision of technology and evaluation for this new area of distributed data processing. %X Not as detailed at Enslow's Computing Surveys paper. It does talk about transparency and autonomy. Reproduced in "Distributed Computing: Concepts and Implementations" edited by McEntire, O'Reilly and Larson, IEEE, 1984.
