The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Open Distributed Systems':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
This is more of a collection of papers than a book. After an initial series of overview chapters, the details are covered by specialists in the various fields. Most such works can vary a great deal in both content and quality. This text, however, maintains a consistent standard of both information and readability throughout. After a discussion of "open"ness and distributed systems, there is an introduction to the concepts of modularity, communication and concurrency, as well as a look at real time systems and reliability. Then comes coverage of security, formal methods, communications support, CORBA (the Common Object Request Broker Architecture), multimedia, network management, distributed file systems and load balancing issues. There is a final look at future trends and challenges. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1996
