This text is a deep and--as any scientist working with large datasets will tell you--much-needed treatment of an emerging field, focused specifically on large-scale computing. It is readable and practical, and covers areas that have many open problems, making it an excellent resource both for scientific researchers looking for solutions and computing researchers looking for computational and combinatoric problems to solve. - Computing Reviews, May 2013
