Content Summary
This book introduces the structure and implementation techniques of distributed computing systems composed of computer networks, focusing on the teaching of fundamental concepts, principles, and methods. The book is divided into 12 chapters:
Basic Concepts and Architectures of Distributed Computing Systems,
Process Communication in Distributed Computing Systems,
Distributed Programming Languages,
Naming and Protection,
Distributed Synchronization and Mutual Exclusion Mechanisms,
Deadlock Problems and Their Handling Techniques,
Fault-Tolerant Techniques,
Distributed Data Management,
Design Issues and Implementation Methods of Distributed File Systems,
Distributed Scheduling,
Distributed Shared Memory Technology, and
Object-Based Distributed Systems.
This book provides a relatively comprehensive and systematic reflection of the major achievements in this field internationally. Especially in recent years, it emphasizes content related to communication, fault tolerance, deadlock, synchronization and mutual exclusion, concurrency control, distributed scheduling, and distributed objects.
The book is detailed, progresses from simple to complex, and is richly illustrated, striving to be both easy to understand and possess a certain theoretical depth. It can serve as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in universities and also as a reference for relevant technical personnel.
