Distributed Computing by Hagit Attiya

Distributed Computing by Hagit Attiya

* Comprehensive introduction to the fundamental results in the mathematical foundations of distributed computing * Accompanied by supporting material, such as lecture notes and solutions for selected exercises * Each chapter ends with bibliographical notes and a set of exercises * Covers the fundamental models, issues and techniques, and features some of the more advanced topics

"This is a second edition of a well-received graduate course textbook dealing with the important field of distributed computing" (Computing Reviews.com, May 10, 2006)

"...the authors take readers through these notoriously difficult subjects and ably demystify puzzling buzzwords…" (IEEE Distributed Systems Online, March 2005)

"The authors present the fundamental issues underlying the design of distributed systems…as well as fundamental algorithmic concepts and lower-bound techniques." (IEEE Computer Magazine, October 2004)

HAGIT ATTIYA received her PhD in Computer Science from Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel.
