1. This document discusses distributed systems and their characteristics. It explores how distributed systems allow components located in different places to interact and coordinate via message passing over a network.
2. Coordination is necessary to transfer information between different components to accomplish a shared task. There is no global clock to synchronize timing, so components must operate independently while still working together.
3. Individual components of a distributed system can function independently without relying on a single centralized control. This allows the system to continue operating normally even if some components fail or resources become unavailable.
