Content Distribution Networksby Dinesh C. Verma
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 74.50
Content distribution networks (CDNs) are the most promising new techniques for coping with the huge and swiftly growing volume of Internet traffic. In essence, CDNs are groups of proxy-servers located at strategic points around the Internet and arranged so as to ensure that a download request can always be handled from the nearest server. In this, the first reference in the field, a recognized CDN pioneer describes the various technologies involved and explains how they came together to form a working system. With the help of case studies, he covers all the practical basics and provides invaluable implementation schemes. more...
Blueprints for High Availabilityby Evan Marcus; Hal Stern
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 52.95
Expert techniques for designing your system to achieve maximum availability and predictable downtime With your company's reputation and profits at stake, downtime on your 24/7 web site is not an option, nor is poor application performance. Now in its second edition, this authoritative book provides you with the design blueprints to maximize your system availability. Striking a balance between costs and benefits, the authors show you all of the elements of your computer system that can fail-as well as ways to assess their reliability and attain resiliency and high availability for each one. A unique feature is "Tales from the Field," a collection of true-to-life experiences that will help you avoid mistakes and deploy your system with confidence.... more...
Distributed and Parallel Systemsby Zoltan Juhasz; Peter Kacsuk; Dieter Kranzlmuller
Springer 2005; US$ 159.00
Embedded systems are becoming one of the major driving forces in computer science. Furthermore, it is the impact of embedded information technology that dictates the pace in most engineering domains. Nearly all technical products above a certain level of complexity are not only controlled but increasingly even dominated by their embedded computer systems. more...
Ruling Distributed Dynamic Worldsby Peter Sapaty
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2005; US$ 124.00
A sequel to Mobile Processing in Distributed and Open Environments, this title introduces an extended, universal WAVE-WP model for distributed processing and control in dynamic and open worlds of any natures. The new control theory and technology introduced in the book can be widely used for the design and implementation of many distributed control systems, such as intelligent network management for the Internet, mobile cooperative robots, Rapid Reaction forces, future Combat Systems, robotics and AI, NMD, space research on other planets, and other applications. This title: * Demonstrates a much simpler and more efficient application programming * Cultivates a new kind of thinking about how large dynamic systems should be designed, organized,... more...
Delivering Utility Computingby Guy Bunker; Darren Thomson
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2006; US$ 120.00
Learn how to design and deploy utility computing systems to save costs and improve the value that IT delivers. The economic downturn that occurred after the .com boom and bust has put the cost of IT in the spotlight. By following the principles of utility computing, also known as on-demand computing, real-time infrastructure, or adaptive enterprise, businesses can improve the IT services they offer, whilst reducing costs and improving agility. Delivering Utility Computing proposes and documents a methodology for delivering utility computing, and provides detailed advice on its principles and benefits. The authors describe a complete and step-by-step process for adapting to a utility computing system, based on proven methodology.... more...
An Atlas of Edge-Reversal Dynamicsby V.C. Barbosa
CRC Press 2000; US$ 119.95
This resource offers an in-depth account of the graph dynamics system SER (Scheduling by Edge Reversal), a powerful distributed mechanism for scheduling agents in a computer system. more...
Distributed Systems Architectureby Arno Puder; Kay R�mer; Frank Pilhofer
Elsevier 2005; US$ 78.95
Middleware is the bridge that connects distributed applications across different physical locations, with different hardware platforms, network technologies, operating systems, and programming languages. This book describes middleware from two different perspectives: from the viewpoint of the systems programmer and from the viewpoint of the applications programmer. It focuses on the use of open source solutions for creating middleware and the tools for developing distributed applications. The design principles presented are universal and apply to all middleware platforms, including CORBA and Web Services. The authors have created an open-source implementation of CORBA, called MICO, which is freely available on the web. MICO is one of the most... more...
Performance-Oriented Application Development for Distributed Architecturesby M. Gerndt
IOS Press 2002; US$ 92.00
An exploration of programming models, languages and tools for performance-oriented program development in commercial and scientific environments. The papers are based on presentations given at the workshop PADDA 2001 and come from two areas - scientific computing and commercial computing. more...
Design and Analysis of Distributed Algorithmsby Nicola Santoro
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2006; US$ 164.00
This text is based on a simple and fully reactive computational model that allows for intuitive comprehension and logical designs. The principles and techniques presented can be applied to any distributed computing environment (e.g., distributed systems, communication networks, data networks, grid networks, internet, etc.). The text provides a wealth of unique material for learning how to design algorithms and protocols perform tasks efficiently in a distributed computing environment. more...
Ambient Networksby Norbert Niebert; Andreas Schieder; Jens Zander; Robert Hancock
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2007; US$ 140.00
Ambient Networks defines a new kind of network architecture, which embeds support for co operation and competition between diverse network types within a common control layer. This unified networking concept can adapt to the heterogeneous environments of different radio technologies and service and network environments. Special focus is placed on facilitating both competition and co-operation of various market players, by defining interfaces which allow the instant negotiation of cooperation agreements. The Ambient Networking concept has been developed in the framework of the Ambient Networks project, which is co-sponsored by the European Union under the Information Society Technology (IST) priority of the 6th Framework Programme.... more...
