Distributed Systems :Principles & Paradigms

0.0

Written in the superb writing style of other Tanenbaum books, DistributedSystems  offers studentsa clear explanation of the fundamental concepts of distributedoperating systems. A two-part approach systematically examines the underlyingprinciples and how they are applied to a wide variety of distributed systems.The first part dedicates one chapter to each of seven key principles of alldistributed systems-Communication, processes, naming, synchronization,consistency and replication, fault tolerance, and security. The second part isdevoted to real-world distributed case studies. One chapter each deals with adifferent paradigm and describes several key systems that use that paradigm. Theparadigms covered are object-based systems, distributed file systems,document-based systems, and coordination-based systems. Because this part isorganized along the same seven key principles that are discussed in the firstpart, students not only learn how state-of-the-art real-world systems work butare also able to compare the different systems easily.
