First Internal Examination March 2019: Co-Operative Academy of Professional Education

A distributed system is a network of independent computers that appears to its users as a single coherent system. It allows sharing of resources and workload across multiple computers connected by a network. There are two main models - client-server, where clients request services from servers, and peer-to-peer, where nodes can act as both clients and servers. Distributed objects allow for communication between objects located on different machines through mechanisms like remote method invocation and remote procedure calls. Designing distributed systems presents challenges around concurrency, failure handling, synchronization and more.
