Abstract
The author focuses on the evolution of transparency in distributed systems, that is, the provision of logically centralized system facilities on distributed system architectures. The author proposes a comparison between the virtues and faults of centralized and distributed architectures, and reviews the evolution of distributed systems. The notion of transparency is described in detail with some examples. The main features of new technologies used to build transparent subsystems on distributed architectures are discussed
