Description for Introduction to Reliable and Secure Distributed Programming
Hardcover. The scope of this second edition of the introduction to fundamental distributed programming abstractions has been extended to cover 'Byzantine fault tolerance'. It includes algorithms to implement these abstractions in vulnerable distributed systems. Num Pages: 367 pages, biography. BIC Classification: UMB; UMZT; UTR. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 240 x 166 x 33. Weight in Grams: 718.
In modern computing a program is usually distributed among several processes. The fundamental challenge when developing reliable and secure distributed programs is to support the cooperation of processes required to execute a common task, even when some of these processes fail. Failures may range from crashes to adversarial attacks by malicious processes. Cachin, Guerraoui, and Rodrigues present an introductory description of fundamental distributed programming abstractions together with algorithms to implement them in distributed systems, where processes are subject to crashes and malicious attacks. The authors follow an incremental approach by first introducing basic abstractions in simple distributed ... Read more
