While this book covers a lot of the areas pertaining to distributed OSes, it is very tersely worded and I have to wonder what monkey edited it. At least 1/2 of the pages contain grammatical errors. Figures are also stunningly frequently mislabeled. There is no way anyone should use this book until these errors are fixed for either a text or their own information.Contentwise, the book assumes that you remember everything from your basic OS class, it doesn't explain ANYTHING that would norm. of the pages contain grammatical errors.

Alexander Kostin said An important contribution to distributed computing. The objective of the book is to cover major aspects of distributed operating systems from a conceptual and practical viewpoint. The book introduces basic networking concepts, considers popular interconnection networks for parallel and distributed systems, explains the architectural concepts related to kernels, processes and threads, process management and scheduling, and different techniques for interprocess communication (such as pipes, Internet sockets, and RPC). The emphasis is on such. Cindy Lee said Clear and Practical in a Computer System Book! Bravo!. Let me tell you, I bought this book after seeing the author speak at N+I in Las Vegas and boy am I glad I did. Refreshingly different, it was not only clear and to the point but practical as well. It was easy to tell Galli has been there and done it and it really helped me get it. Some books are so fluffy and try to bury you in useless theory without relating it to what we need to know when we design and develop real systems in the Internet space. Not this one. As a bonus, the glossary an
Reference pointers to relevant sources including: A. Complete list of acronyms to aid readability and provide a centralized location for easy reference. Thus, it includes relevant examples of real operating systems to reinforce the concepts and to illustrate the decisions that must be made by distributed system designers. Have the students, either individually or as a group complete one or more of the `Project Exercises', those indicated by an italicized exercise number at the end of relevant chapters. In summary, this book focuses on the concepts, theory and practice in distributed systems. These projects m

It describes in detail every major aspect of the topics, and includes relevant examples of real operating systems to reinforce concepts and illustrate decisions that must be made by distributed system designers. A two-part approach presents the basic foundation for distributed computing and then expands on these topics to cover advanced distributed operating systems. For developers and managers active in the client/server technology industry who want to update and enhance their knowledge base.. More advance material covers distributed process management, file systems, synchronization, and security. This book explores the concepts and practice in distributed computing, and is designed to be useful in helping practitioners and corporate training keep up with software technology that pertains to a majority of all computers and their applications. Chapters include information on interprocess communication, memory man
