Distributed Systems: Theory and Applications (Hardcover)

Comprehensive textbook resource on distributed systems--integrates foundational topics with advanced topics of contemporary importance within the field

Distributed Computing: Theory and Applications is organized around three aspects of distributed systems: networks, middleware tools, and applications. It presents architectural uniform methods to implement a distributed shared memory system for realization data consistency models suited to distributed applications' requirements. To aid in understanding how these concepts apply to real-world situations, the work illustrates topics with practical applications and includes references for further reading. Downloadable lecture slides are also included to help professors and instructors convey key concepts to their students.

Additional topics discussed in Distributed Computing: Theory and Applications include:

• The abstractions and the implementations of several middleware for distributed computing, which constitute the bulk of core foundational topics
• Network issues and high-level connection tools
• Distributed knowledge management and distributed multi-agent systems
• Gossip Protocol, peer-to-peer systems and block-chain technology, and techniques for unstructured data management
• P2P, coordinated architectures, and advanced middleware for building large modern distributed applications

Researchers, industry professionals, and students in the fields of science, technology, and medicine will be able to use Distributed Computing: Theory and Applications as a comprehensive textbook resource for understanding distributed systems, the specifics behind the modern elements which relate to them, and their practical applications.

《分散式計算：理論與應用》是一本關於分散式系統的綜合教材資源，將基礎主題與當代重要性的高級主題相結合。本書圍繞分散系統的三個方面進行組織：網絡、中間件工具和應用。它提供了實現適合分散應用需求的數據一致性模型的分散共享內存系統的統一架構方法。為了幫助讀者理解這些概念如何應用於現實情況，本書通過實際應用案例來說明相關主題，並提供進一步閱讀的參考資料。書中還包含可下載的講義幻燈片，以幫助教授和講師向學生傳達關鍵概念。

《分散式計算：理論與應用》還討論了以下其他主題：

- 分散計算的抽象和實現，這些是核心基礎主題的主要部分
- 網絡問題和高級連接工具
- 分散知識管理和分散多代理系統
- Gossip Protocol、點對點系統和區塊鏈技術，以及非結構化數據管理技術
- P2P、協調架構和用於構建大型現代分散應用的高級中間件

科學、技術和醫學領域的研究人員、行業專業人士和學生可以將《分散式計算：理論與應用》作為一本全面的教材資源，用於理解分散系統、與之相關的現代元素的細節以及它們的實際應用。
