SEG 2105 Chapter Notes - Chapter 3: Distributed Computing
Document Summary
Expertise - use past experience and problems to solve time. Standard designs and algorithms - implement predefined aspects. Frameworks - libraries containing structure of entire system. Complete applications - add small enhancements to existing. A reusable software that implements a generic solution to a generalized problem. It provides common facilities applicable to different application programs. Horizontal - provides general application facilities that a large number of applications can use. Vertical - provides facilities that will allow easy development of a more specific class of application programs. Oop - framework is composed of a library of classes. The api offered by is defined by the set of all public methods of the public classes. A distributed system is a system in which computations are performed by separate programs, normally running on separate pieces of hardware, that cooperate to perform the task of the system as a whole.
