Distributed Systems for System Architects

The distributed systems architect assembles pieces of hardware that are at least as large as a computer or a network router, and assigns pieces of software that are self-contained - such as Java applets - to those hardware components. As system complexity, size and diversity grow, the probability of inconsistency, unreliability, non-responsiveness and insecurity, increases. It is absolutely necessary for distributed systems architects to understand the management of such complex systems. Distributed Systems for System Architects addresses these issues.Veríssimo, Paulo is the author of 'Distributed Systems for System Architects' with ISBN 9780792372660 and ISBN 0792372662.
