The document discusses different models for distributed systems including physical, architectural and fundamental models. It describes the physical model which captures the hardware composition and different generations of distributed systems. The architectural model specifies the components and relationships in a system. Key architectural elements discussed include communicating entities like processes and objects, communication paradigms like remote invocation and indirect communication, roles and responsibilities of entities, and their physical placement. Common architectures like client-server, layered and tiered are also summarized.
System Models
• Threatsto consider for modeling
- Widely varying modes of use: component parts are
subject to wide variations in workload.
- Wide range of system environments: Able to
accommodate heterogenous h/w, s/w, OS etc.
- Internal problems: Failures, inconsistency of data etc
- External threats: Attack on data integrity.
• Types
- Physical
- Architectural
- Fundamental

Physical Model
• Modelthat capture the hardware composition
of a system in terms of computer and their
interconnecting networks.
• Three generations of distributed systems:
–Early distributed systems
–Internet-scale distributed systems: CORBA
–Contemporary distributed systems

Architectural Model
• Architecture:The structure of a system specifying its
components and their interrelationships.
• Why architecture?
– To ensure that the structure will meet the current and
future demands on it
– To provide a reliable, manageable, adaptable and
cost-effective system(MARC)
• Ways of organization of DS

Architectural model
• Architecturalelements:
How to understand the fundamental building
blocks of a distributed system?
• What are the entities that are communicating in the
distributed system (communicating entities)?
• How do they communicate, or, what communication
paradigm is used (communication paradigms)?
• What roles and responsibilities do they have in the
overall architecture (roles and responsibilities)?
• How do they map on to the physical distributed
architecture (what is their placement)?

Architectural Elements
Communication paradigms:How they communicate
Inter-process communication – low-level process support.
E.g. message passing primitives, direct access to API,
multicast communication
Remote invocation – common communication paradigm in
distributed systems. Two-way exchange between
communicating entities, common techniques; RPC, RMI,
request-reply protocols
Indirect communication– E.g. group communication,
publish-subscribe systems, message queues, tuple spaces,
distributed shared memory

Indirect communication
• Groupcommunication
• Publish- subscribe systems(Event Based
systems)
• Message queues
• Tuple spaces
• Distributed shared memory

each layer using service offered by layer

Tiered Architecture
• Techniqueto organize functionality of a given
layer and place this functionality into
appropriate servers.
• The functional decomposition is as
- Presentation Logic
- Application logic
- Data Logic

2 tier Architecture
•Server provides processing and data management; client provides simple graphical
display (thin-client)
• At the other extreme, all application processing and some data resides at the client
(fat-client approach)

3 Tier Architecture
Anexample of a server acting as client.
-In some applications servers may also need to be clients, leading to a three level
architecture. Ex
-Distributed transaction processing
-Web servers that interact with database servers
