A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

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.
