Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

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.
