Design and Algorithms

In today’s digital environment, distributed systems are
increasingly present in a wide variety of environments, ranging
from public software applications to critical systems.

Distributed Systems introduces the underlying concepts, the
associated design techniques and the related security issues.

Distributed Systems: Design and Algorithms, is dedicated to
engineers, students, and anyone familiar with algorithms and
programming, who want to know more about distributed systems.

These systems are characterized by: several components with one or
more threads, possibly running on different processors;
asynchronous communications with possible additional assumptions
(reliability, order preserving, etc.); local views for every
component and no shared data between components. This title
presents distributed systems from a point of view dedicated to
their design and their main principles: the main algorithms are
described and placed in their application context, i.e. consistency
management and the way they are used in distributed file-systems.
