Description
Available now - a two-volume book featuring an in-depth, comprehensive review of the latest advances in both distributed data processing and distributed database systems. Distributed Processing and Database Systems, Volume I & II presents you with 61 of the most comprehensive papers available on both these rapidly evolving areas providing all the significant advances in the field duing the last 20 years. Written especially for students and engineers working in distributed system planning, each volume contains a thorough review of design and implementation issues for both distributed processing systems and distributed database systems. Distributed Processing and Database Systems gives you essential, up-to-date information on recent research advances, backed up with numerous discussions of practical case studies. Volume I, Distributed Processing Systems , features 26 papers discussing the following: an overall review of task allocation, including the optimal task allocation to minimize interprocessor communication and balance processor loading; the disciplines and operations of distributed systems including transparent access to data access through a network file system; and the distributed real time operating system which supports a distributed computer simulation with set specific services.
