Distributed Information Systems
The notion of a distributed information system has surfaced as a technical concern ameliorated by noteworthy successes in communication networks and minicomputer technology. While the implementation of a distributed system may be regarded as a technical problem, the organizational impact may be substantial, affecting day-to-day operations as well as managerial philosophy. This book addresses basic concepts and an introduction to the topic, followed by technical aspects, communications, and dispersion, and finishes with managerial aspects and data security. This book is intended for students of business, management, data processing, computer science and engineering, and for professionals in the same areas.

An understanding of the techniques used to make distributed computing systems and networks reliable, fault-tolerant and secure will be crucial to those involved in designing and deploying the next generation of mission-critical applications and Web Services. Reliable Distributed Systems reviews and describes the key concepts, principles and applications of modern distributed computing systems and architectures. This self-contained book consists of five parts. The first covers introductory material, including the basic architecture of the Internet, simple protocols such as RPC and TCP, object oriented architectures, operating systems enhancements for high performance, and reliability issues. The second covers the Web, with a focus on Web Services technologies, Microsoft’s .NET and the Java Enterprise Edition. The remaining three parts look at a number of reliability and fault-tolerance issues and techniques, with an emphasis on replication applied in Web Services settings. With its well-focused approach and clarity of presentation, this book is an excellent resource for both advanced students and practitioners in computer science, computer networks and distributed systems. Anyone seeking to develop a solid grounding in distributed computing and Web Services architectures will find the book an essential and practical learning tool.
