Features: Based on the previous edition, this book has undergone significant revisions, incorporating new network and database interface technologies closely related to distributed database technology, new component-based software development methods, WWW databases, mobile databases, data warehouses, and data mining. It reflects the new trends in the development and application of distributed database technology. The book also includes additional exercises and reference answers for some of them. Providing a comprehensive explanation of the fundamental content of distributed database systems, the book engages in open discussions on controversial issues but avoids complex proofs for profound theories. Instead, it employs numerous illustrations and examples to offer clear and accessible explanations, enhancing its knowledge value and ease of understanding. This book can serve as a selective course textbook for senior undergraduate students in computer science, is particularly suitable as a professional textbook for graduate students, and can also be used as a reference book for researchers in computer information processing or related application development.
