Instructions

For this task, describe a new distributed system for an existing system you have experience with either at work or at home. You should describe the current system, and then detail how the system will be implemented as a distributed system using a diagram and summary. Here are some important properties your system should have:

The system must support multiple, autonomous agents (either human or automated) that are contending for shared resources while accessing the shared states to perform real-time updates

The state of the system should be distributed across multiple client or server nodes

There should only be one centralize service that supports users. It should support logging on, adding clients or servers, deleting clients or servers, and any other tasks to keep the system organized

The system should be robust

In the case of a node crashing the system should continue to operate

After a node crashes it should be possible to recover the state of the node and resume operation.

Length: diagram, plus 4-9 pages, not including title page and references

Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.
