System Model

A way of thinking

This System Model introduces a way of thinking about distributed systems that is foundational to the Distributed Async Await specification. It defines the rules that govern the behavior of distributed software systems.

📄️ Distributed Systems

Establishing a clear and concise definition of a distributed system is foundational to a first principles approach to establishing a coherent system model.

📄️ Processes

Processes are the fundamental unit of locality in a system.

📄️ Executions

Executions are the fundamental unit of computation in a system.

📄️ Messages

Messages are the means by which processes communicate with each other. They are the primary mechanism for exchanging information and coordinating actions in a distributed system.
