Three significant characteristics of distributed systems are:
- concurrency of components
- lack of a global clock
- independent failure of components.
Examples of distributed systems and applications of distributed computing include the following:
- Telecommunication networks
- Telephone networks and cellular networks
- Computer networks such as the Internet
- Wireless sensor networks
- Telephone networks and cellular networks
- Electronic banking
- Peer-to-peer networks
- Mobile and Pervasive Computing
- Distributed supercomputers, Grid/Cloud computing
- Routing algorithms
- Parallel computation, scientific computing, including cluster computing and grid computing.
- Distributed databases, Distributed database management systems, Network file systems and Distributed information processing systems
