• The causing of a procedure (subroutine) to execute in a different address space (commonly on another computer on a shared network), with the call being coded as if it was a normal (local) procedure call. That is, without explicitly coding the details for the remote interaction, the programmer writes essentially the same code whether the subroutine is local to the executing program, or remote. ← Wikipedia
