What Is Distributed System? What Are The Important Goals To Build A Distributed System?

The document contains questions from four units on the topics of distributed systems: Unit I covers definitions of distributed systems, the role of middleware, and the organization of internet search engines. Unit II discusses communication models like OSI and RPC, as well as client-server architectures. Unit III is about synchronization techniques like clock algorithms, mutual exclusion, and distributed transactions. Unit IV focuses on consistency and replication models, including consistency levels and replication protocols.
