The new book addresses the problem of developing distributed applications on wide-area networks, such as the internet and world wide web. Computer scientists, computer engineers, and software engineers will find the book offers an authoritative guide to large- scale multiprogramming concepts for wide-area computing.
From the reviews:
"Jayadev Misras ‘Discipline of Multiprogramming – Programming Theory for Distributed Applications’ wants to contribute theories and design principles to enhance productivity in specification, abstraction and modularization. ... Most chapters have a large number of examples, contain bibliographic notes and a lot of exercises with solutions. The book concludes with an appendix about elementary logic and algebra, a reference list and an index." (Christoph Meinel, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 999, 2002)
