SKR 5302: Advanced Distributed Computing
2. System Model: Distributed System
2.3. Types of system model
Three types of models
- Physical models: capture the hardware composition of a system in terms of computers and other devices and their interconnecting network;
- Architecture models: define the main components of the system, what their roles are and how they interact (software 2 architecture), and how they are deployed in a underlying network of computers (system architecture);
- Fundamental models: formal description of the properties that are common to architecture models. Three fundamental models are interaction models, failure models and security models
