Abstract

The study of distributed computing started in late 70s and many fundamental concepts has been proposed and successfully used in this area since then. Those concepts are used in various Big Data Technologies of present time, which are in turn the key building blocks of the Big Data Analytics used today in various businesses and industries. So it is essential for practitioners of Big Data Analytics to understand these fundamental concepts related to Distributed Computing. In this chapter we cover these fundamental concepts of Distributed Computing along with the Quality of Service aspects associated with them with examples wherever applicable.
