Quick-tests for characterizing distributed systems
Rick Cormier, Ed Guy, David E. Ruddock · ACM SIGAPP Applied Computing Review · 1999
This paper discusses some problems caused by inadequately characterizing distributed and system architectures. It presents a classification system for decomposing distributed systems and presents a few simple test cases. To allow system designers to characterize different aspects of their environments, we have started a collection of simple Quick-Tests.
