distributed system

[di′strib·yəd·əd ′sis·təm] (computer science) A computer system consisting of a collection of autonomous computers linked by a network and equipped with software that enables the computers to coordinate their activities and to share the resources of system hardware, software, and data, so that users perceive a single, integrated computing facility. (control system) A collection of modules, each with its own specific function, interconnected to carry out integrated data acquisition and control in a critical environment. (systems engineering) A system whose behavior is governed by partial differential equations, and not merely ordinary differential equations. Also known as distributed-parameter system.

distributed system

A collection of (probably heterogeneous) automata whosedistribution is transparent to the user so that the systemappears as one local machine. This is in contrast to anetwork, where the user is aware that there are severalmachines, and their location, storage replication, loadbalancing and functionality is not transparent. Distributedsystems usually use some kind of client-server organisation.

Distributed systems are considered by some to be the "nextwave" of computing.

Distributed Computing Environment is the Open Software Foundation's software architecture for distributed systems.
