Course of Course

Introduction to database and Distributed Systems in general

Architectures and Design Issues of DDBS

Technological TreatmentTheoretical Aspects of the

topic

Little bit of History Traditional File Processing System: the very first form of

business data processing Each program contains data description that it

manipulates Redundancy of data Problems in maintenance

Database Approach

Takes care of all major drawbacks of File System Environment plus more


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

10


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

11


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)

12


Classifications of DCS Interconnection structure

Could be point to point or a common interconnection channel

Interdependence of Components Synchronization Factors are not totally independent

13


Why DCS?

Suits some of the Organizational Structures; more reliable and responsive

Nature of some applications Technological Push

14


DCS’s Alerts

Information Islands and Lack of Standards Difficulties in Large Application Design Too Many Options Available
