In the context of distributed systems, explain the challenges of building and debugging distributed software.
Distributed computing provides a means for complex problems to be solved efficiently and quickly by dividing the work among the processors in the system. This concept is interesting because of its ability to increase the power of computing. What is even more interesting is the application of distributed computing. Investigate a set of interesting applications in which distributed computing is used in industry. In each case, one could discuss the particular protocols, security issues, and benefits along with an overview of the system implementation.
Define the terms "scalability" and "load balancing" in the context of distributed systems.
