KEY BENEFIT Distributed Systems , 5e, provides broad and up-to-date coverage of the principles and practice in the fast moving area of Distributed Systems. KEY TOPICS: Continues to provide a comprehensive source of material on the principles and practice of distributed computer systems and the exciting new developments based on them, using a wealth of modern case studies to illustrate their design and development. The depth of coverage will enable readers to evaluate existing distributed systems and design new ones. It also highlights the very demanding requirements of application domains such as web search and multi-player online games. From a distributed systems perspective, these developments are placing new demands on the underlying system infrastructure in terms of the range of applications and the workloads and system sizes supported by many modern systems. Important trends include the increasing diversity and ubiquity of networking technologies (including the increasing importance of wireless networks), the inherent integration of mobile and ubiquitous computing elements into the distributed systems infrastructure leading to radically different physical architectures, the need to support multimedia services and the emergence of the cloud computing paradigm which challenges our perspective of distributed systems services. MARKET: Ideal for software engineers and systems designers wishing to understand new and future developments in the field.
