The '''Distributed Systems Technology Centre''' (DSTC) was a leading research organization in the field of [[information technology]] in [[Australia]]. It conducted

applied research focusing on a number of application domains, such as government, defence and health care. It was a centre of excellence in distributed systems technologies and had an international reputation as one of the most effective and influential IT research organisations in Australia.

health care. It was a centre of excellence in distributed systems technologies and had an international reputation as one of the most effective and influential IT research organisations in Australia.

DSTC was supported by the Australian Government's [[Cooperative Research Centre]] (CRC) program

Line 44 ⟶ 36:

In addition to these commercial ventures, one of DSTC's greatest legacies is its alumni, some of whom have taken on prominent positions in academia, whilst others have found employment in some of the world's leading ICT companies. DSTC also made a massive contribution to computer science education, playing a major role in the education of many computer science students (including a large number of PhDs) in Australia, and particularly in Brisbane.

The CEO of DSTC in the early years had a prominent position in [[Queensland]] politics, which led to DSTC getting a few mentions in the Queensland parliament. Queensland premier [[Rob Borbidge]] dismissively referred to DSTC as "a sort of gigabyte playpen for a few propeller heads" (Hansard 1996), which DSTC staff adopted as an informal motto.

Its website was archived following its closure in June 2006.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2006-07-01 |title=DSTC |url=http://www.dstc.edu.au/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060701015909/http://www.dstc.edu.au/ |archive-date=2006-07-01 |access-date=2024-08-16 |website=Distributed Systems Technology Centre}}</ref>
