Distributed computing
Distributed computing
is a field of
computer science
that studies distributed systems. A
distributed system
is a software system in which components located on
networked computers
communicate and coordinate their actions by
passing messages
. The components interact with each other in order to achieve a common goal. Three significant characteristics of distributed systems are: concurrency of components,
lack of a global clock
, and independent failure of components. Examples of distributed systems vary from
SOA-based systems
to
massively multiplayer online games
to
peer-to-peer applications
.
