Description

Distributed computer systems are widely available, yet designing software for them remains a difficult task. This book from Springer addresses the two primary challenges in the field: the absence of a shared clock and the absence of shared memory. Because the concept of time is not useful in distributed systems without a shared clock, and the concept of state must be redefined without shared memory, these topics form a major portion of this text. Principles of Distributed Systems provides the tools and foundational knowledge needed to navigate these complexities. It is an essential resource for those studying computer science architecture and the specific difficulties involved in managing distributed environments.

Key Features

This book by Springer covers the fundamental challenges of designing software for distributed computer systems.

The text explores the absence of a shared clock and how the concept of time functions in distributed environments.

Readers will learn how the absence of shared memory requires a redefinition of the concept of state in distributed systems.

This is a used book provided in good condition for students and professionals in computer science.

The content focuses on the tools and principles necessary to handle modern distributed computing tasks.
