Distributed Systems-Computer Science

This book provides a comprehensive overview of both the hardware and software issues of this dynamic area of computing. Essential for both students and practitioners alike, this book explores distributed and parallel computing using a bottom-up approach from computing organization, communications and networks through operating systems and client-server architecture to distributed databases and other applications. It deals with the same fundamental issues as the first, but significant additions have been made to reflect the recent advances in this field.
