Sommario/riassunto

For courses on Distributed Systems, Distributed Operating Systems, and Advanced Operating Systems focusing on distributed systems, found in departments of Computer Science, Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering.     Very few textbooks today explore distributed systems in a manner appropriate for university students.

No other text examines the underlying principles - and their applications to a wide variety of practical distributed systems - with this level of depth and clarity.
