It would also be a good choice for laymen who are looking for a good textbook on these topics. It will be of interest, for instance, to peer-to-peer (P2P) developers who want to know how a somewhat similar idea of grid computing works, and the other way around. "Specialists working on different types of novel distributed computing systems will like this book. " (Haoyang Che, THE COMPUTER JOUNAL, Vol. … recommend the book to anyone interested in distributed computing, especially students in the field of distributed computing …. People with different programming abilities, even those who have never written a single line of code … learn a lot from it.
… covers a broad and coherent range of distributed-computing techniques …. There are hardly any errors throughout the book. … The diagrams … are clear-cut, as are the snippets of codes.
"Provides rich background information to beginners entering this subject area. The book has four main themes: d- tributed environments, protocols and architectures for applications, protocols and architectures focusing on middleware and nally deployment of these middleware systems, providing real-world examples of their usage. Distributed systems take many forms, appear in many areas and range from truly decentralized systems, like Gnutella, Skype and Jxta, centrally indexed brokered systems like Web s- vices and Jini and centrally coordinated systems like From P2P and Grids and Services on the Web Evolving Distributed Communities provides a comprehensive overview of the emerging trends in peer-to-peer (P2P), distributed objects, Web Services, the Web, and Grid computing technologies, which have rede ned the way we think about d- tributed computing and the Internet.
Over the past several years, Internet users have changed in their usage p- terns from predominately client/server-based Web server interactions to also involving the use of more decentralized applications, where they contribute more equally in the role of the application as a whole, and further to d- tributed communities based around the Web.
