Abstract

Most computational systems share two basic properties: first they process information, second they allow for observations of this processing to be made For example a program will typically process the inputs and allows its output to be observed on a screen In a distributed system each unit processes information and will allow some observation to be made by the environment or other units, for example by message passing In an election voters cast their vote, officials count the votes and the public can observe the election result.
