Design and Analysis of Distributed Algorithms (Wiley Series on Parallel and Distributed Computing)

Buy
This text is based on a simple and fully reactive computational model that allows for intuitive comprehension and logical designs. The principles and techniques presented can be applied to any distributed computing environment (e.g., distributed systems, communication networks, data networks, grid networks, internet, etc.). The text provides a wealth of unique material for learning how to design algorithms and protocols perform tasks efficiently in a distributed computing environment.

The computational universe surrounding us is clearly quite different from that envisioned by the designers of the large mainframes of half a century ago. Even the subsequent most futuristic visions of supercomputing and of parallel machines, which have guided the research drive and absorbed the research funding for so many years, are far from today’s computational realities.

These realities are characterized by the presence of communities of networked entities communicating with each other, cooperating toward common tasks or the solution of a shared problem, and acting autonomously and spontaneously. They are distributed computing environments.

It has been from the fields of network and of communication engineering that the seeds of what we now experience have germinated. The growth in understanding has occurred when computer scientists (initially very few) started to become aware of and study the computational issues connected with these new network-centric realities. The internet, the web, and the grids are just examples of these environments. Whether over wired or wireless media, whether by static or nomadic code, computing in such environments is inherently decentralized and distributed. To compute in distributed environments one must understand the basic principles, the fundamental properties, the available tools, and the inherent limitations.

This book focuses on the algorithmics of distributed computing; that is, on how to solve problems and perform tasks efficiently in a distributed computing environment. Because of the multiplicity and variety of distributed systems and networked environments and their widespread differences, this book does not focus on any single one of them. Rather it describes and employes a distributed computing universe that captures the nature and basic structure of those systems (e.g., distributed operating systems, data communication networks, distributed databases, transaction processing systems, etc.), allowing us to discard or ignore the system-specific details while identifying the general principles and techniques.
