Beschreibung
The book presents an algorithmic approach to fault-tolerant message-passing distributed systems. After an introductory chapter where the author presents a few definitions and examples, he then structures the book into parts on reliable broadcast communication abstraction, read/write register communication abstraction, agreement in synchronous systems, and agreement in asynchronous systems. The book will be useful for graduate students and researchers in distributed systems.
Autorenporträt
Prof. Michel Raynal is among the top researchers in the world on the topic of distributed algorithms. He is a full professor at the Université de Rennes where he founded the Distributed Algorithms research group in 1984. He has been the principal investigator in numerous related research national and international projects, and he has been invited by more than 25 universities around the world to give lectures on distributed algorithms and distributed computing. He has over 300 academic publications on this topic, and has authored a number of books on related topics. His current research interests include distributed algorithms, distributed computing systems, distributed computability and dependability; and the fundamental principles that underlie the design and the construction of distributed computing systems.
