Gartner Glossary
Cooperative Processing
Cooperative processing is the splitting of an application into tasks performed on separate computers. Physical connectivity can occur via a direct channel connection, a local-area network (LAN), a peer-to-peer communication link or a primary/secondary link. The application software can exist in a distributed processing environment, but this is not a requirement.
