Subject-Distributed Computing: Question Bank For Oral Exam

This document contains question banks for an oral exam on distributed computing. It includes questions about distributed systems models, middleware, communication protocols, and more. Specifically, it covers topics like defining distributed systems, achieving a coherent view, goals of distributed systems, types of transparency, scalability techniques, and differences between distributed, network and distributed operating systems. For communication, it asks about layered protocols, interprocess communication methods like RPC and RMI, message oriented vs stream oriented communication, and synchronous vs asynchronous protocols.
