• Computer Networks:
- A computer network is an interconnected collection of autonomous computers able to exchange information.
- A computer network usually require users to explicitly login onto one machine, explicitly submit jobs remotely, explicitly move files/data around the network.
• Distributed Systems:
- The existence of multiple autonomous computers in a computer network is transparent to the user.
- The operating system automatically allocates jobs to processors, moves files among various computers without explicit user intervention.
