Answer 1

Centralized

A system with centralized multiprocessor parallel architecture.In the late 1980 s Centralized systems have been progressively replaced by distributed systems.

characteristics of centralized system

1.Non autonomous components
2.usually homogeneous technology
3.Multiple users share the same resources at all time
4.single point of control
5.single point of failure

Distributed

set of tightly coupled programs executing on one or more computers which are interconnected through a network and coordinating their actions. These programs know about one another and carry out tasks that none could carry out in isolation

characteristics of distributed system

1.autonomous components
2.Mostly build using heterogeneous technology
3.System components may be used exclusively
4.Concurrent processes can execute
5.Multiple point of failure
