Distributed Systems, 2nd Ed.
Principles and Paradigms
by Andrew S. Tanenbaum and Maarten Van Steen
Virtually every computing system today is part of a distributed system. Programmers, developers, and engineers need to understand the underlying principles and paradigms as well as the real-world application of those principles.Now, internationally renowned expert Andrew S. Tanenbaum - with colleague Martin van Steen - presents a complete introduction that identifies the seven key principles of distributed systems, with extensive examples of each. - Adds a completely new chapter on architecture to address the principle of organizing distributed systems.
- Provides extensive new material on peer-to-peer systems, grid computing and Web services, virtualization, and application-level multicasting.
- Updates material on clock synchronization, data-centric consistency, object-based distributed systems, and file systems and Web systems coordination.
For all developers, software engineers, and architects who need an in-depth understanding of distributed systems.

| Where are the algorithms? |

This is an introduction to the subject of distributed computing. From my personal point of view fails the book to address any of the two viewpoints I am interested on: 1) Distributed algorithms, or 2) Distributed computing tools and software (i.e. real life examples with some source code).
Although, some people can find that the book is a good introduction to the subject, I feel that the book is not focused enough.
For distributed algorithms I recommend "Distributed Systems: An algorithmc Approach" from Ghosh (I have not read yet the "Distributed algorithms" from Lynch et al).
For the "practical" aspect... I have not found a good one. Do you know one? |

This book is painful to read. The author never gives a concise definition of the topics presented. You can read and read again every page and it will still make no sense. Unfortunately the course I'm taking is based on this book and I can't really do anything but search for resources on the internet.
All in all avoid this book if you can. |

There's lots of material that is presented; but the pace and presentation of the topics seemed "rushed" . |

First, the book arrived in a package that was hardly still together and hardly protecting the book by the time it arrived at my house.
Second, the book was a softcopy version that had printed on it sales allowed only in India, and some other countries I hadn't even heard of. I have a feeling the book was less expensive than what I thought I was getting which was the hard copy. I at first thought I had gotten the wrong book because the two don't even look anything alike. |
