QIO
An HP product that uses shared memory segments to optimize the performance of its client
process. QIO stands for Queued Input/Output.
reentrant code
See thread-safe code.
reuse
The principle of using a software component in multiple applications, for example by deriving
application-specific object classes from general-purpose object classes, or using existing class
libraries or frameworks for common application functions. Reuse is one of the goals of object
technology.
RMI
Remote Method Invocation. A distributed object model for one Java virtual machine to invoke
methods on an object running in a different Java virtual machine, possibly on different hosts.
RMI-IIOP
A version of Remote Method Invocation (RMI) implemented to use the CORBA IIOP protocol.
RMI over IIOP provides interoperability with CORBA objects implemented in any language if all
the remote interfaces are originally defined as RMI interfaces.
roll back
Undo (a transaction).
Root POA
The POA provided by the ORB to which all other POAs are related.
scalability
The characteristic that allows a system to grow to accommodate increased usage. On NonStop
systems, scalability is achieved largely through parallel processing.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
A secure interoperability protocol that works at the communications transport layer.
Secure Sockets Layer Inter-ORB Protocol (SSLIOP)
See IIOP/SSL.
security domain
The processes and configuration data that are manageable under a given user ID.
security policy
The data that defines what protection a systems security services must provide. There are many
