Abstract
Distributed system architecture such as Fog computing, edge computing, and cloud computing is an active research area. As digital transformation and internet technology boom in recent times, distributed systems have undergone significant changes resulting in new models and architectures. Distributed system components are mainly structural framework and design principles that govern how several independent computing nodes work together to complete a specific activity. This chapter summarizes various distributed system architectures and models and discusses Fog computing, edge computing, and cloud. The chapter also includes a discussion on recent trends and challenges in implementing distributed system architecture.
Keywords: Distributed systems, distributed computing, middleware, microservices, fog computing, edge computing
