- A research on TECHNOLOGIES APPLICABLE TO BUILD BOTH DISTRIBUTED DATABASES AND DISTRIBUTED SYTEMS
Background Information:
A distributed database (DD) is a collection of multiple logically interrelated databases distributed over a computer network. A distributed database management system is a software system that manages a distributed database while making the distribution transparent to the users. While a distributed system (DS) was sometimes viewed as internet + distributed database, the technologies applied in distributed systems are much more complicated than those of distributed databases. On the other hand, many IT professionals agreed that distributed database technologies, such as distributed transaction processing, data replication, fragmentation, etc., have contributed a lot and been used in today’s distributed system development.
