Index
N2  - This book provides a balanced and straightforward treatment of the underlying theory and practical applications of distributed computing. As in the previous version, the language is kept as unobscured as possible―clarity is given priority over mathematical formalism. This easily digestible text:
•Features significant updates that mirror the phenomenal growth of distributed systems
•Explores new topics related to peer-to-peer and social networks
•Includes fresh exercises, examples, and case studies

Supplying a solid understanding of the key principles of distributed computing and their relationship to real-world applications, Distributed Systems: An Algorithmic Approach, Second Edition makes both an ideal textbook and a handy professional reference
