One of the important aspects of decision making and management in  distributed systems is collecting accurate information about the available  resources of the peers. The previously proposed approaches for collecting  such information completely depend on the system's architecture. In the  server-oriented architecture, servers assume the main role of collecting  comprehensive information from the peers and the system. Next, based on the  information about the features of the basic activities and the system, an  exact description of the peers' status is produced. Accurate decisions are  then made using this description. However, the amount of information  gathered in this architecture is too large, and it requires massive  processing. On the other hand, updating the information takes time, causing  delays and undermining the validity of the information. In addition, due to  the limitations imposed by the servers, such architecture is not scalable  and dynamic enough. The peer-to-peer architecture was introduced to address  these concerns. However, due to a lack of complete knowledge of the peers  and the system, the decisions are made without a precise description of the  peers' status and are only based on the hardware data collected from the  peers. Such an abstract and general image of the peers is not adequate for  the purpose of decision making. In this paper, a 4-dimensional model is  presented for the purpose of information collection and the exact  description of the peer's status, including the features of the peer, the  basic activity, the time, and the specifications of the system. The proposed  model is for a server-oriented architecture, but it also adapts to the  peer-to-peer serverless architecture. Based on this model, a new approach is  introduced for information collection and an exact description of the peers'  status in a peer-to-peer system based on the Latin square concept. We  evaluate the model in the server-oriented and serverless situations. The  workload is considered as the basic activity in our evaluation. Our  evaluation demonstrates that in a server-oriented situation, increasing the  size of the system has a direct relation with time. However, a serverless  situation does not follow this behavior.
