Distributed Systems

An Algorithmic Approach, Second Edition

Beschreibung

This pivotal book provides a highly accessible, balanced treatment of the underlying theory and practical applications of distributed computing. As in the previous version, the language of the Second Edition is kept as unobscured as possible-clarity is given priority over mathematical formalism. Containing significant updates that mirror the phenomenal growth of distributed systems, this easily digestible text includes fresh exercises, examples, and case studies and explores new topics related to peer-to-peer and social networks. A solutions manual is available with qualifying course adoption.
