Abstract
Distributed systems are composed of nodes that communicate and coordinate their actions by passing messages. The nodes interact with each other in order to achieve a common goal. Resource analysis of distributed systems needs to consider the distribution, communication and interaction aspects of the systems as well. We sketch the basic framework proposed for the resource analysis of distributed systems, together with the new notions of cost that arise in such distributed context. In particular, we will discuss the notions of: peak cost that captures the maximum amount of resources that each distributed node might require along the whole execution; and parallel cost which corresponds to the maximum cost of the execution by taking into account that, when distributed tasks run in parallel, we need to account only for the cost of the most expensive one. The framework is developed for a concurrent objects language with futures, a formalism that is based on Frank’s work.
