1. Physical Model

A physical model represents the underlying hardware elements of a distributed system. It encompasses the hardware composition of a distributed system in terms of computers and other devices and their interconnections. It is primarily used to design, manage, implement, and determine the performance of a distributed system....

2. Architectural Model

Architectural model in distributed computing system is the overall design and structure of the system, and how its different components are organised to interact with each other and provide the desired functionalities. It is an overview of the system, on how will the development, deployment and operations take place. Construction of a good architectural model is required for efficient cost usage, and highly improved scalability of the applications....

3. Fundamental Model

The fundamental model in a distributed computing system is a broad conceptual framework that helps in understanding the key aspects of the distributed systems. These are concerned with more formal description of properties that are generally common in all architectural models. It represents the essential components that are required to understand a distributed system’s behaviour. Three fundamental models are as follows:...
