Distributed Information Systems

The notion of a distributed information system has surfaced as a technical concern ameliorated by noteworthy successes in communication networks and minicomputer technology. While the implementation of a distributed system may be regarded as a technical problem, the organizational impact may be substantial, affecting day-to-day operations as well as managerial philosophy. This book addresses basic concepts and an introduction to the topic, followed by technical aspects, communications, and dispersion, and finishes with managerial aspects and data security.
