The '''Distributed Systems Technology Centre''' (DSTC) was a leading research organization in the field of
applied research focusing on a number of application domains, such as government, defence and
health care
DSTC was supported by the Australian Government's [[Cooperative Research Centre]] (CRC) program
Line 26 ⟶ 27:
DSTC was one of the most successful CRCs in Australia, and was a leading centre for expertise in distributed systems and information technology. It was a major contributor to the Australian information technology industry through its research, projects with industry, support for training and education. It organised the annual Evolve Conference, which brought leading international experts to Australia. It was a strong participant in international standards organisations such as the [[Object Management Group]] (OMG), [[World Wide Web Consortium]] (W3C) and [[Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards]] (OASIS). The DSTC started and hosted the Australian W3C Office.
