What is the difference between parallel computing and distributing computing? In the most simple form = Parallel Computing is a method where several individual (autonomous) systems (CPU's) work in tandem to resolve a common computing workload. Distributed Computing is where several dis-associated systems are working seperatly to resolve a multi-faceted computing workload. An example of Parallel computing would be two servers that share the workload of routing mail, managing connections to an accounting system or database, solving a mathematical problem, ect... Distributed Computing would be more like the SETI Program, where each client works a seperate "chunk" of information, and returns the completed package to a centralized resource that's responsible for managing the overall workload. If you think of ten men pulling on a rope to lift a load, that is parallel computing. If ten men have ten ropes and are lifting ten different loads from one place to consolidate at another place, that would be distributed computing.
Distributed Software engineering is combination of distributed system engineering and distributed system architecture For more detail you need to go through the following topics 1)Distributed systems issues 2)Client-server computing 3)Architectural patterns for distributed systems 4)Software as a service

In Parallel Computing all processors have access to a shared memory. In distributed computing, each processor has its own private memory

Mainframe systems use dumb terminals, a client/server environment uses intelligent terminals. Cross-platform computing and distributed processing is supported in client/server architecture, but not possible in a mainframe. There can be any numbers of servers and clients in a CSA, while mainframes work on the principle of the central server.
A zero client is another term for a thin client, a computing term for a minimal client which relies on the server to do most of its processing.
Client and server stubs facilitate communication in remote procedure calls (RPC) by acting as intermediaries between the client and server. The client stub is responsible for packaging the procedure call and its arguments into a message, which it sends over the network to the server. The server stub receives this message, unpacks it, and invokes the corresponding procedure on the server side. This abstraction allows developers to call remote procedures as if they were local, simplifying the process of distributed computing.
