From the Back Cover
This second edition of the bestselling text on open distributed systems is comprehensively updated and expanded to reflect recent advances in the field. The approach is based on a uniform view of resources in distributed systems using client-server and group communication models. Design approaches emphasise openness, scalability, transparency, reliability and security.
The book begins with the foundations for open distributed systems including networking, interprocess communication, remote procedure calling, name services, distributed time management and file services. It introduces new technologies including ATM networking, internetworks, multicast protocols, microkernel-based distributed operating systems and distributed shared memory. It also covers the design of services supporting the sharing of distributed data, including replication, concurrency control, recovery, fault tolerance and security.
The material is supported by definitions of service interfaces and algorithms and by copious case studies. The case studies provide an excellent insight into the current state-of-the-art in distributed system design. They include:
Networking and interprocess communication: Ethernet, Token Ring, ATM networks, Internet, FLIP, Sun RPC, ANSA testbench, Firefly RPC, Amoeba multicast Distributed file systems: Sun NFS, Andrew File System, Coda Name services: DNS, GNS, X.500 Clock synchronization: Network Time Protocol Replication: ISIS and 'gossip' architecture Security: Kerberos Microkernel-based distributed operating systems: Mach, Chorus, Amoeba, Clouds, UNIX emulation Distributed shared memory: Ivy, Munin
George Coulouris, Jean Dollimore and Tim Kindberg have based this book on courses at masters and undergraduate level given to students at Queen Mary and Westfield College in the University of London.

Terms of sale
Please send cash, check, or money order to my PO Box or physical address, or you may pay online with your credit card using the ABE Commerce purchase option, or via PayPal at www.paypal.com specifying payment to my email address. For PayPal-purchased books under $10, I request an additional fee of $0.50 to offset the transaction fee that PayPal charges me. Overseas PayPal customers may make payment in US Dollars, Pounds Sterling, or Euros after factoring the appropriate conversion rates.
Sales tax of 8.125 is charged on shipments to California addresses.
To guarantee delivery of books, buyers should request and pay for postal insurance. This costs $1.30 for the first $50 of coverage, $2.20 for $100 of coverage, plus $1 additional for each additional $100 of coverage. Insurance is not available for international orders unless shipped via parcel post, which itself costs additional.
Please note that a listed book may have been sold to a prior buyer and not yet removed from the database. I will hold books for 10 days while awaiting payment.
If you wish to see a photo or scan of any book, I can email an electronic image to you. However, this may take extra time.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you place an ABE Book Order without specifying payment type, please be aware that the book is automatically removed from the online database when you do this, and thus you will no longer find the book online afterwards. If you later decide you wish to pay for your order by credit card, please contact me via email and I will restore the book to the online database so that you may find it online to order and pay for it using the ABECommerce option.
BOOK DEALER NOTES:
*No discount is offered for internet book sales.
**No California sales tax will be charged to California book dealers who supply me with their CA resale number; otherwise the state sales tax of 8.125% will apply. No sales tax is charged to out of state book dealers.
***I will drop-ship a book to your national or international customer upon receiving prepayment for the book plus shipping. IMPORTANT: If your customer's address is in California, I also require prepayment of CA sales tax of 8.125% prior to shipping.
