"A distributed system is a system whose components are located on different networked computers, which communicate and coordinate their actions by passing messages to one another."
This area deals with the design and development of systems that operate on multiple computers and communicate over a network. It is used in applications such as cloud computing, Internet of Things, and distributed databases.
Distributed Systems Basics: An introductory training to the basic principles of distributed systems.
Distributed Systems Models: Different models of distributed systems, such as peer to peer, client-server, and others.
Network Communication Protocols: TCP, UDP and other network communication protocols, their strengths and weaknesses.
Data Consistency and Replication: Techniques for ensuring data consistency and effective replication across a distributed system network.
Distributed Algorithms: Algorithms designed for data management, consistency, and fault tolerance in distributed systems.
Distributed Data Storage and Access: Methods for storing and accessing data in a distributed system environment.
Distributed Computing Tools and Frameworks: Frameworks and tools used for building distributed systems, including Hadoop, Spark and others.
Security in Distributed Systems: Common security threats and countermeasures for distributed systems.
Scalability in Distributed Systems: Decentralized and scalable distributed systems and architectures.
"Distributed computing is a field of computer science that studies distributed systems."
"The components of a distributed system interact with one another in order to achieve a common goal."
"Three significant challenges of distributed systems are: maintaining concurrency of components, overcoming the lack of a global clock, and managing the independent failure of components."
"When a component of one system fails, the entire system does not fail."
"Examples of distributed systems vary from SOA-based systems to massively multiplayer online games to peer-to-peer applications."
"A computer program that runs within a distributed system is called a distributed program."
"Distributed programming is the process of writing such programs."
"There are many different types of implementations for the message passing mechanism, including pure HTTP, RPC-like connectors, and message queues."
"Distributed computing also refers to the use of distributed systems to solve computational problems."
"In distributed computing, a problem is divided into many tasks."
"Each task is solved by one or more computers, which communicate with each other via message passing."
"The components of a distributed system... communicate and coordinate their actions by passing messages to one another."
