Summary:Distributed systems can be viewed as an interconnection of multiple machines. Basically, there are two ways in which distributed processing is achieved based on these systems. One is to run individual apphcation on each machine, without any need for communication between them. Another is to split the application into segments with each of these segments running concurrently on the various connected machines. The latter approach requires synchronisation of processes and sharing of entities on the machines involved.
