Distributed Systems: An Algorithmic Approach, Second Edition 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.
The 8th International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems (OPODIS 2004) was held during December 15 –17, 2004 at Grenoble, France.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Symposium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security of Distributed Systems, SSS 2007, held in Paris, France, November 14-16, 2007. The 27 regular papers presented together with the extended abstracts of three invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from 64 submissions. The papers address all aspects of self-stabilization, safety and security, recovery oriented systems and programming.
This book aims at being a comprehensive and pedagogical introduction to the concept of self-stabilization, introduced by Edsger Wybe Dijkstra in 1973. Self-stabilization characterizes the ability of a distributed algorithm to converge within finite time to a configuration from which its behavior is correct (i.e., satisfies a given specification), regardless the arbitrary initial configuration of the system. This arbitrary initial configuration may be the result of the occurrence of a finite number of transient faults. Hence, self-stabilization is actually considered as a versatile non-masking fault tolerance approach, since it recovers from the effect of any finite number of such faults in a...
This book provides the details of developing a digital pedestrian map construction system over the intermittently connected mobile network. Over the past couple of decades, countries across the world, both developing and developed, have witnessed a significant number of disasters. Thus, it has become mandatory for each of the disaster-prone countries to equip themselves with appropriate measures to cope with the challenges of providing post-disaster services. Some of the serious challenges are incapacitated communication infrastructure, unstable power supply and inaccessible road networks. Out of these challenges, the destruction of road networks, especially in developing countries, acts as ...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Symposium on Self-Stabilizing Systems, SSS 2005, held in Barcelona, Spain, in October 2005. The 15 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 33 submissions. The papers address classical topics of self-stabilization, prevailing extensions to the field, such as snap-stabilization, code stabilization, self-stabilization with either dynamic, faulty or Byzantine components, or deal with applications of self-stabilization, either related to operating systems, security, or mobile and ad hoc networks.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 13th International Symposium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security of Distributed Systems, SSS 2011, held in Grenoble, France, in October 2011. The 29 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 79 submissions. They cover the following areas: ad-hoc, sensor, and peer-to-peer networks; safety and verification; security; self-organizing and autonomic systems; and self-stabilization.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Symposium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security of Distributed Systems, SSS 2009, held in Lyon, France, in November 2009. The 49 revised full papers and 14 brief announcements presented together with three invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 126 submissions. The papers address all safety and security-related aspects of self-stabilizing systems in various areas. The most topics related to self-* systems. The special topics were alternative systems and models, autonomic computational science, cloud computing, embedded systems, fault-tolerance in distributed systems / dependability, formal methods in distributed systems, grid computing, mobility and dynamic networks, multicore computing, peer-to-peer systems, self-organizing systems, sensor networks, stabilization, and system safety and security.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Distributed Computing and Networking, ICDCN 2012, held in Hong Kong, China, during January 3-6, 2012. The 36 revised full papers and 1 short paper presented together with 4 poster papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 100 submissions. The papers address all current issues in the field of distributed computing and networking. Being a leading forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas and share best practices, ICDCN also hosts as a forum for PhD students to discuss their research ideas and get quality feedback from the well-renowned experts in the field of distributed computing and computer networking.
