Database Approach: (Also called centralized database)


Database is a shared collection of logically related
data

Distributed Computing System
A number of autonomous processing elements that
are connected through a computer network and that
cooperate in performing their assigned tasks

Distributed Computing Systems
• Distributed System Software enables computers to
coordinate and share
• The thing being distributed?
• Processing logic
• Functions
• Data
• Control; All are relevant and important here

10
Classifications of DCS
• Degree of Coupling
• How closely systems are connected
• May be the measured as ratio of messages
interchanged to the local processing
• Could be Weak (over the network) or Strong (if
components are shared)

11
Classifications of DCS
• Interconnection structure
• Could be point to point or a common interconnection channel
• Interdependence of Components
• Factors are not totally independent

12
Why DCS?
• Suits some of the Organizational Structures; more reliable and
responsive
• Nature of some applications
• Technological Push

13
DCS’s Alerts
• Information Islands and Lack of Standards
• Difficulties in Large Application Design
• Too Many Options Available

What is a Distributed Database System?

A distributed database (DDB) is a collection of multiple,


logically interrelated databases distributed over a
computer network.

A distributed database management system (D–DBMS)


is the software that manages the DDB and provides an
access mechanism that makes this distribution
transparent to the users.

Distributed database system (DDBS) = DDB + D–DBMS


What is not a DDBS?
• A timesharing computer system
• A loosely or tightly coupled multiprocessor system
• A database system which resides at one of the nodes of a network of
computers - this is a centralized database on a network node
