Cat - I

This document outlines an exam for a distributed systems course. The exam contains two parts: Part A consists of 10 short answer questions worth 2 marks each on topics such as defining distributed systems, examples of distributed systems, challenges in distributed systems, interprocess communication, and request/reply protocols. Part B consists of two longer answer questions worth 15 marks each, asking students to explain examples of distributed systems and resource sharing on the web, challenges in distributed systems and architectural models, fundamental models of distributed systems and characteristics of interprocess communication, or approaches to external data representation and the definition of IP multicast in group communication.
