A screen scraper is a software application that translates
an existing client interface into a set of objects that can be 
used to build new client software.

Reengineering is the organizational process required to 
align people, processes and technology with strategies to 
achieve business integration. It can also be thought of as 
taking a business in its current state and forming 
an organizational and operational blueprint to redirect 
skills, policies, information (data), cultural values, 
organizational structures, processing and incentives 
towards targeted improvements.

Distributed Application Environment is  designed to allow 
businesses to use IBM's RISC System/6000 and PS/2 computers 
in a client/server network (or standalone) for their 
business applications. 
DAE consists (1) MESSAGING services; (2) DATABASE 
services ; (3)  PRESENTATION services; (4)  DEVICE services 
to capture data and to control a broad category of 
controllers, devices, equipment and sensors.  

DOMS provide a way of pulling diverse components together 
and managing their communications. They are aimed at 
addressing the following: 
 - A single interface to manage the complexities of a 
heterogeneous environment 
 - A uniform framework, based on standards and 
extensibility, to build,integrate, and deploy open 
distributed-computing applications
 - A method for creating location independence for client 
applications.

DCE is the Distributed Computing Environment, from the Open 
Software Foundation. (It is called "the DCE" by sticklers 
for grammatical consistency.)

DCE consists of multiple components which have been 
integrated to work closely together.  They are the Remote 
Procedure Call (RPC), the Cell and Global Directory 
Services (CDS and GDS), the Security Service, DCE
Threads, Distributed Time Service (DTS),and Distributed 
File Service (DFS).  The Threads, RPC, CDS, Security, and 
DTS components are commonly referred to as the "secure 
core" and are the required components of any DCE 
installation.  DFS is an optional component.

DCE is called "middleware" or "enabling technology."  It is 
not intended to exist alone, but instead should be 
integrated or bundled into a vendor's operating system 
offering.  DCE's security and distributed filesystem, for 
example, can completely replace their current, non-network, 
analogs.
