Design and Implementation of a Java-Based Client-Server Application

This report details the development of a networked distributed system named Group Communication System (GCS), implemented in Java to exemplify socket programming and communication protocols. GCS facilitates group-based client-server communication through a command-line interface (CLI), enabling seamless group interaction and management. The project emphasizes fault tolerance, design patterns, and version control system (VCS) utilization. The report offers insights into system architecture, implementation, and practical considerations, providing a comprehensive understanding of distributed systems' technical background and operational aspects.
