Distributed systems as an implementation choice have become dominant in both scientific research and practical applications. As a collection of autonomous units which can make decisions locally, distributed systems are capable to solve many complex computational problems through appropriate cooperations among the units. In this chapter, we introduce distributed systems and describe some of their properties. There are many examples of distributed systems in our daily life; we mention some of them for a better understanding of the concepts of distributed systems. In Sect. 1.1, we introduce the concept of distributed systems and some important properties of a distributed system. Then, we highlight several real-life examples of distributed system in Sects. 1.2–1.6, including local area networks, email network systems, wireless sensor networks, cognitive radio networks, and telephone networks.
