What is: a network (nodes that share information), or a processing cluster (nodes that share resources).
I use two terms because the intention behind them is different, but both share information and resources (just for different purposes).
Networks are created to share and/or pass information between nodes. Think "the internet". The intended use is to combine resources to share and propagate information. Think: people talking to each other to share news.
Clusters are created to share processing power by splitting complex tasks between many nodes and processing them concurrently (at the same time). The intended use is the exact opposite: to share information in order to combine resources.Think: people working with each other to build a house.
To complicate matters, networked nodes (ex. computers) can be used to form a cluster, and clustered nodes can be used to propagate information.
What else can I help you with?

A network
What is computer network in short?
In short, it is 2 or more computers connected together for the purpose of sharing information data or (less commonly) hardware. (The Internet is a really, really, REALLY big network...)

What are the element of an information system?
An information system typically consists of hardware (computers, servers), software (applications, databases), data (information stored in databases), procedures (rules for handling data), and people (users, administrators). These elements work together to collect, process, store, and distribute information within an organization.
What is a collection of computers and devices connected together via communications media called?
a network.
How do you refer to a collection of computers connected together that allows sharing of resources?
Networked computers.
What is a collection of computers and peripherals that are connected together to share hardware software and data called?
Simple answer is a network, in which it is connected together via network cables, switches, hubs and/or routers. Another possible answer ( due to the broad scope of the description ) could be a server farm, failover cluster, or computer cluster. Each of which would need to researched separately.
