This compact and up-to-date text provides a thorough understanding of the fundamental principles and technologies pertinent to the design and construction of the distributed systems. This also provides invaluable insights into key features of distributed systems, such as organization, naming and addressing, availability and reliability, replication, privacy and security, communication, concurrency and failure, and synchronization, etc., using a bottom-up approach.
Beginning with an introduction to the subject, the book discusses the techniques of software and network architectures and presents the issues pertaining to the handling and accessing of resources. This also focuses on major application areas. Finally, the book provides the examples for explaining the concepts discussed.
KEY FEATURES :
