            Abstract : 
This article is based on the results of the pre-project phase of the ODSA programme, during which the workplan for the programme has been developed and the programme marketed to a range of end-user organisations. The article first gives an overview of distributed processing, then outlines the case made to a number of target user organisations chosen from a variety of industry sectors for possible participation in ODSA. It concludes with a description of the nature of the proposed A-type projects
