• Scaling Techniques
• Hiding Communication Latencies
• To achieve geographical scalability
• Asynchronous communication
• Shipping Code
• Distribution
• Distribution involves taking a component, splitting it into smaller parts, and
subsequently spreading those parts across the system.
• An excellent example of distribution is the Internet Domain Name System (DNS).
The DNS name space is hierarchically organized into a tree of domains, which are
divided into nonoverlapping zones.
• Replication
• scalability problems often appear in the form of performance degradation, it is
generally a good idea to actually replicate components across a distributed
system. Replication not only increases availability, but also helps to balance the
load between components leading to better performance.
• Caching: Special forming of replication

• An open distributed system is a system that offers services according to
standard rules that describe the syntax and semantics of those services
