Now, internationally renowned expert Andrew S. Tanenbaum - with colleague Martin van Steen - presents a complete introduction that identifies the seven key principles of distributed systems, with extensive examples of each.Adds a completely new chapter on architecture to address the principle of organizing distributed systems. Provides extensive new material on peer-to-peer systems, grid computing and Web services, virtualization, and application-level multicasting. Updates material on clock synchronization, data-centric consistency, object-based distributed systems, and file systems and Web systems coordination.For all developers, software engineers, and architects who need an in-depth understanding of distributed systems.
