The growing complexity and scale of heterogeneous networks, spanning domains such as telecommunications, social media, sensor systems, and cyber-physical infrastructures, necessitates distributed data science architectures capable of large-scale processing and knowledge discovery. Traditional centralized processing models are ill-suited for handling vast, diverse, and dynamic datasets. This paper explores modern distributed data science frameworks that enable efficient computation, knowledge inference, and real-time analytics in such networks. Key architectural paradigms, including edge-cloud collaboration, distributed graph processing, and federated analytics, are examined in light of scalability, fault tolerance, and performance. Emphasis is placed on data locality, heterogeneity-aware modeling, and adaptive learning algorithms. Furthermore, the paper evaluates architectural trade-offs and proposes a modular reference architecture for integrating distributed learning workflows in heterogeneous environments.
