Designing distributed computing systems is a complex
process requiring a solid understanding of the design
problems and the theoretical and practical aspects of
their solutions. This comprehensive textbook covers
the fundamental principles and models underlying the
theory, algorithms and systems aspects of distributed
computing. Broad and detailed coverage of the theory
is balanced with practical systems-related issues such
as mutual exclusion, deadlock detection, authentication,
and failure recovery. Algorithms are carefully selected,
lucidly presented, and described without complex
proofs. Simple explanations and illustrations are used to
elucidate the algorithms. Important emerging topics
such as peer-to-peer networks and network security
are also considered. With vital algorithms, numerous
illustrations, examples and homework problems, this
textbook is suitable for advanced undergraduate and
graduate students of electrical and computer engineering
and computer science.isbn-9781107648906
