Distributed systems

Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Computer and Information Science Series

Distributed Systems: An Algorithmic Approach, Second Edition provides a balanced and straightforward treatment of the underlying theory and practical applications of distributed computing. As in the previous version, the language is kept as unobscured as possible—clarity is given priority over mathematical formalism. This easily digestible text:

Features significant updates that mirror the phenomenal growth of distributed systems Explores new topics related to peer-to-peer and social networks Includes fresh exercises, examples, and case studies

Supplying a solid understanding of the key principles of distributed computing and their relationship to real-world applications, Distributed Systems: An Algorithmic Approach, Second Edition makes both an ideal textbook and a handy professional reference.

Reviews for Distributed Systems: An Algorithmic Approach, Second Edition

The main theme of this edition, as in the first edition, is to show the implementation of distributed algorithms as well as describe the rich theory behind them. It is well organized and shows the implementation details of distributed algorithms without sacrifying the theory. The contents are enriched by the addition of new chapters. This book is essential reading for senior/graduate classes on distributed systems and algorithms and I would strongly recommend it. -Kayhan Erciyes, Izmir University, Turkey
