Informationen zum Autor VIJAY K. GARG, PhD, is a professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Texas at Austin and a leading researcher in distributed computing systems.. Klappentext Mit der Verfügbarkeit verteilter Systeme wächst der Bedarf an einer fundamentalen Diskussion dieses Gebiets. Hier ist sie! Abgedeckt werden die grundlegenden Konzepte wie Zeit, Zustand, Gleichzeitigkeit, Reihenfolge, Kenntnis, Fehler und Übereinstimmung. Die Betonung liegt auf der Entwicklung allgemeiner Mechanismen, die auf eine Vielzahl von Problemen angewendet werden können. Sorgfältig ausgewählte Beispiele (Taktgeber, Sperren, Kameras, Sensoren, Controller, Slicer und Syncronizer) dienen gleichzeitig der Vertiefung theoretischer Aspekte und deren Umsetzung in die Praxis. Alle vorgestellten Algorithmen werden mit durchschaubaren, induktionsbasierten Verfahren bewiesen. Zusammenfassung As distributed systems become increasingly available, the need for a fundamental discussion of the subject has grown. This book covers the fundamental concepts in distributed computing systems such as time, state, simultaneity, order, knowledge, failure, and agreement in distributed systems.
