DESCRIPTION:
Tanenbaum has an S.B. In this respect he resembles a mother hen. van Steen studied Applied Mathematics at Twente University and received a Ph.D. The MINIX and Amoeba systems are now available for free via the Internet. students and programmers, he helped design the Amoeba distributed operating system, a high-performance microkernel-based distributed operating system. Tanenbaum is a
"Great book, but poor choice of cover art" according to Erik Gfesser. Chapters 1 through Great book, but poor choice of cover art Erik Gfesser Chapters 1 through 4 are a great introduction to Distributed Systems, in the case you have had less than optimal training on the subject in the past - I read these chapters at the beginning of a recent Distributed Systems graduate course since this was the situation I was in. Chapters 5 through 7, which were the main concentration in the course, are also the heart of the text: Synchronization, Consistency and Replication, and Fault Tolerance. The authors write very well, and the diagrams are among the best I have seen, especially if you think visually like me.

Bass said Excellent Distributed Computing Reference. Tanenbaum and van Steen have updated their textbooks on networks and distributed systems to include chapters on Distributed Document-Based Systems (examples: The World Wide Web / Lotus Notes) and Distributed Coordination-Based Systems (examples: TIBCO/Rendezvous / JINI). There are other good chapters as well, including; Security, Distributed Object-Based Systems, Distributed File Systems, Fault Tolerance, Consistency & Replication, and more. I have always liked Tanenbaum's textbooks and picked this one up for a textbook discussion of TIBCO/Rendezvous because of my work in federated information s. technical but well covering Lior Bar-On This book is the next after the adorable "Modern Operating Systems" by Tannenbaum. The book is well written with a widest and broad view of this area. No wonder because the authors are running a project of building one. The books indeed touches the basic important ideas behind a distributed systems very well and try in later chapters to give some practical view of how it is done. The descriptions at some point are too technical (i.e trivial) and sometimes repeating. a load of some 100 pages could be cut off this book. I am in junior class and I learn it by myself (I couldn't take the course) wit
No other book systematically examines the underlying principles and how they are applied to a wide variety of distributed systems with the depth and clarity of this presentation.. For courses on Distributed Systems, Distributed Operating Systems, and Advanced Operating Systems focusing on distributed systems found in departments of Computer Science, Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering. Distributed systems are common. Computer scientists and engineers need to understand how the principles and paradigms underlying distributed systems software and be familiar with several real world examples
From the Back Cover Andrew Tanenbaum and Maarten van Steen cover the principles, advanced concepts, and technologies of distributed systems in detail, including: communication, replication, fault tolerance, and security. Written in the superb writing style of other Tanenbaum books, the material also features unique accessibility and a wide variety of real-world examples and case studies, such as NFS v4, CORBA, DCOM, Jini, and the World Wide Web. Intended for use in a senior/graduate level distributed systems course or by professionals, this text systematically shows how distributed systems are designed and implemented in real systems.
