Lecture Review:

First, Dr John introduced the theme of this report from the concept of opportunity network, and analyzed the characteristics of opportunity network through examples in life. Next, he explained some routing strategies and classical routing protocols, and gave examples one by one. Later, he entered the theme and introduced the advantages and disadvantages of distributed computing development to the students. The doctor demonstrated the application of distributed computing in all aspects of life by explaining the rising smart city. Finally, he proposed a beautiful vision for the future development of distributed computing and comprehensively summarized the advantages and disadvantages of distributed computing.
