Distributed processing has become a mainstream systems style. This volume describes the state-of-the-art, and explores the underlying issues (and controversies) of distributed computer systems. It contains new material on recent developments in software, hardware, and systems design - and expanded chapters on network protocols, distributed data, distributed database, and software structure. Also discussed are the costs of distributed computer systems, and the effects of distributed processing on management styles. The previous edition of this book was published in 1980.
