An Adaptive Group Mutual Exclusion Algorithm For Message Passing Asynchronous Distributed Systems

An Adaptive Group Mutual Exclusion Algorithm for Message Passing Asynchronous Distributed Systems

The group mutual exclusion problem extends the traditional mutual exclusion problem by associating a type with each critical section (CS). In this problem, processes requesting critical sections of the same type can execute their critical sections concurrently. However, processes requesting critical sections of different types must execute their critical sections in a mutually exclusive manner.

Distributed Systems

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.
