Abstract :
A case study in which the feasibility of operating the Portable Common Tools Environment (PCTE) across a wide-area network was determined as part of the Arise project is discussed. Simple benchmarks and experiments with a configuration-management application indicate that a wide-area PCTE is feasible, provided there is a suitable data-distribution strategy.<>
