Distributed Computing
Principles, Algorithms, and Systems
Distributed computing deals with all forms of computing, information access,
and information exchange across multiple processing platforms connected
by computer networks. Design of distributed computing systems is a com-
plex task. It requires a solid understanding of the design issues and an
in-depth understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of their solu-
tions. 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 problems 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. Emerging topics of signif-
icant impact, such as peer-to-peer networks and network security, are also
covered.
With state-of-the-art algorithms, numerous illustrations, examples, and
homework problems, this textbook is invaluable for advanced undergraduate
and graduate students of electrical and computer engineering and computer
science. Practitioners in data networking and sensor networks will also find
this a valuable resource.
