An understanding of the techniques used to make distributed
computing systems and networks reliable, fault-tolerant and secure
will be crucial to those who design and deploy the next generation
of mission-critical applications and Web Services.
Reliable Distributed Systems reviews and describes the key
concepts, principles and applications of modern distributed
computing systems and architectures. This self-contained book
consists of five parts. The first covers introductory material,
including the basic architecture of the Internet, simple protocols
such as RPC and TCP, object oriented architectures, operating
systems enhance-ments for high performance, and reliability issues.
The second covers the Web, with a focus on Web Services
technologies, Microsofta (TM)s .NET and the Java Enterprise
Edition. The last three parts look at a number of reliability and
fault-tolerance issues and techniques, with an emphasis on
replication applied in Web Services settings.
Topics and features:
* Explains fault-tolerance in clear, readily understood terms
with concrete examples drawn from real-world settings
* A practical focus aimed at building "mission-critical"
networked applications that keep working even when things go
wrong
* Includes modern topics, such as Corba, Web Services, XML,
.NET, J2EE, group communication, transactions, peer-to-peer
systems, time-critical protocols, scalability and security
* Thorough coverage of fundamental mechanisms, with an emphasis
on the idea of "consistent behavior" in systems that replicate
critical components for availability
* Reviews more than 25 major research efforts, placing them in
context with pointers to sources
*Includes 80 problems ranging from simple tests of understanding
to challenging protocol and systems design topics suitable for
semester-long projects
* Web-based materials for instructors, including a comprehensive
slide set, available at: http: //www.cs.cornell.edu/ken/book
With its well-focused approach and clarity of presentation, this
new text is an excellent resource for both advanced students and
practitioners in computer science, computer networks and
distributed systems. Anyone seeking a solid background in
distributed computing and Web Services architectures will find the
book an essential and practical learning tool.
