These pages seem to be on the same topic but with different spellings of 'decentralised' and a slightly different name. I suggest merging Decentralised computer system into this page as this page has more information.

Also does decentralised computing have anything to do with distributed computing and should this be linked or merged? Lettyce 07:48, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that they should be merged. I also think that we should remove Decentralized computing from Category:Centralized computing and simply refer to the category as an antonym. Bartledan (talk) 15:08, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I would second that. --mgarde (talk) 13:52, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Having recently (2009) written a thesis that makes extensive use of "decentralized" to refer to an hybrid of a peer-to-peer system and a client-server system with a very thin server-side, and having done my share of reading papers, I can say that this term doesn't seem currently notorious even in papers, and thus seems kind of irrelevant for an encyclopedia. I'm speaking as someone that actually likes this term. What I mean is that, currently, this term seems to have little usage and, as a consequence, you end up having to define it explicitly whenever you use it. I like the term, but I don't like the current page, and I don't think I'd have material to write a general article about it either. EDIT: note that the references of this article say "peer-to-peer" and "distributed" in their titles... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.115.88.185 (talk) 03:30, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
