Network Distributed Computing: Fitscapes and Fallacies
Prentice Hall, Upper Saddle River, NJ, (2004)
Abstract
Networked distributed computing (NDC) systems are driving an ongoing technological revolution that has already spawned the Internet and will soon transform the world into one ubiquitous, pervasive information field. The author reviews the field's crucial challenges, state-of-the-art solutions, and breathtaking future. Goff covers both the trees and the forest---showing how NDC has evolved, where it's headed, and above all, what it all means.
