A federation is a group of computing or network providers agreeing upon standards of operation in a collective fashion. The term may be used when describing the inter-operation of two distinct, formally disconnected, telecommunications networks that may have different internal structures.〔M. Serrano, S. Davy, M. Johnsson, W. Donnelly, A. Galis - "Review and Designs of Federated Management in Future Internet Architectures" part of the book "The Future Internet - Future Internet Assembly 2011: Achievements and Technological Promises" - Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Vol. 6656, 465 pp, ISBN 978-3-642-20897-3, 4 May 2011- Springer http://www.springer.com/computer/communication+networks/book/978-3-642-20897-3〕 The term may also be used when groups attempt to delegate collective authority of development to prevent fragmentation. In a telecommunication interconnection, the internal ''modus operandi'' of the different systems is irrelevant to the existence of a federation. Joining two distinct networks: *Yahoo! and Microsoft announced that Yahoo! Messenger and MSN Messenger would be interoperable. Collective authority: *The MIT X Consortium was founded in 1988 to prevent fragmentation in development of the X Window System. *OpenID, a form of federated identity ==See also== *Federated database system *Distributed social network *Federated Portal Network *Federated VoIP 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Federation (information technology)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
