👉 In the context of distributed computing, individuals refer to autonomous computational units or agents that work collaboratively to solve complex problems or perform tasks more efficiently than a single unit could alone. These individuals can be software processes, virtual machines, or even specialized hardware nodes in a cluster. They communicate and coordinate their actions through a network, often using algorithms for task allocation, load balancing, and fault tolerance. By leveraging the collective power of multiple individuals, distributed systems can achieve higher performance, scalability, and reliability than centralized systems.
