The fallacies of distributed computing are a set of assertions made by original Sun Microsystems fellows, including Deutsch, which describe false assumptions invariably made by programmers who are new to distributed applications.
In an interview, Deutsch retells the history of the fallacies, discusses their relevance today, and corrects some frequent misattributions and misunderstandings regarding their origin. Specific topics referenced include network reliability, network security, message security, and network topology.
