Description and Table of Contents
Description
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.
