More DescriptionThe second edition of this successful textbook provides an up-to-date introduction both to distributed algorithms and to the theory behind them. The clear presentation makes the book suitable for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses, whilst the coverage is sufficiently deep to make it useful for practising engineers and researchers. The author covers algorithms for: the implementation of computer communication networks; the control of distributed applications; fault-tolerance. The two new chapters on sense of direction and failure detectors will provide an entry to these still-developing topics.
