Resumo:
Distributed Computing is a reality nowadays. The main users of Information
Technology are moving from computing paradigms based on a central processor and its
dependent devices, towards new paradigms which distribute the presentation, the data, and
the processing tasks associated with one application across many computers connected to a
network.
Distributed Computing impacts the way we use computers to support business
operations. Many organizations are building and applying distributed applications, in order
to obtain greater openness, funcionality, and user productivity. Nevertheless, those
organizations are also facing new technical, economics and business characteristics as they
move towards new paradigms adopted by the modern business environments. As more and
more corporate applications are built upon distributed architectures, the impact will be even
greater. This thesis provides information that may help computer professionals harness the
transition of a centralized computing model to a distributed computing one.
