KELVIN
Distributed processing is a centralized database that can be accessed over a computer network.
The key point with the definition of a distributed DBMS is that the system consists of data that is physically distributed across a number of sites in the network. If the data is centralized, even though other users may be accessing the data over the network, we do not consider this to be a distributed DBMS, simply distributed processing.
