System Models
• Threats to 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
• Model that 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
• Architectural elements:
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)?

• Communicating entities: Entities that take
part
- Processes
- Objects
- Components
- Web services

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

Layered Architecture
- A complex system partitioned into layers with
each layer using service offered by layer
below.
Application , Services
Middleware

Tiered Architecture
• Technique to 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
An example 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
