What is Distributed Computing?

Distributed computing is a system architecture where computing resources are spread across multiple machines, working together to process tasks efficiently. It enables parallel processing, fault tolerance, and scalability, making it ideal for handling large-scale applications such as cloud services, big data analytics, and blockchain networks. Technologies like Hadoop, Kubernetes, and distributed databases power modern distributed computing environments.

Data Protection Directive
The Data Protection Directive (95/46/EC) was a European Union directive that set data protection standards before being replaced by GDPR. It established rules for processing personal data within the EU, ensuring data privacy and free movement of information while maintaining legal protections.
Blockchain
Blockchain is a decentralized and distributed ledger technology that enables secure, transparent, and tamper-proof record-keeping. It consists of a chain of blocks, each containing transactional data, cryptographically linked to ensure integrity. Blockchain is widely used in cryptocurrencies (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum), supply chain management, smart contracts, and digital identity verification. Its decentralized nature enhances security and reduces reliance on intermediaries.
Data Structure
Data structure refers to an organized way of storing and managing data efficiently. Common types include arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, and graphs. It forms the foundation of algorithms and software development, optimizing search, sorting, and data manipulation tasks. Data structures are critical in database design, AI models, and real-time computing systems.
